Security Best Practices for XMR Exchanges

Tips to keep your exchanges safe — wallet security, address verification, and more.

Security Best Practices

Follow these practices to keep your exchanges safe.

Before You Exchange

  • Verify the URL — Always ensure you're on the official Ghost Exchange domain
  • Use a VPN or Tor — For additional network-level privacy
  • Use a dedicated browser — Minimize tracking from extensions and cookies

During the Exchange

  • Double-check addresses — Verify every character of your destination address. Copy-paste, don't type manually. Some malware replaces clipboard addresses.
  • Send the exact amount — Avoid over/under-sending
  • Save your order details — Screenshot or note the order page in case you need to contact support

Wallet Security

  • Use reputable wallets — Cake Wallet, Feather Wallet, or Monero GUI for XMR
  • Never share your seed phrase — No legitimate service will ever ask for it
  • Verify wallet addresses — Ensure your receiving wallet is correct before confirming

After the Exchange

  • Check the transaction — Verify receipt on a block explorer
  • Save the receipt — For your personal records
  • Clear browser data — If using a shared device

Red Flags

Ghost Exchange will never:

  • Ask for your wallet seed phrase or private keys
  • Ask you to download additional software
  • Contact you via DM on social media
  • Request remote access to your device
