A non-custodial wallet is a type of crypto wallet where the user holds and manages the private keys to the wallet and the assets in custody. The user is responsible for safeguarding their funds, and they are the only ones with access to their private keys. Using a non-custodial wallet requires no trust in any institution.

0 Privacy+5 Trust - Uses hodl invoices 0 +5
A hodl invoice on the Lightning Network temporarily holds your payment, similar to escrow. The receiver doesn’t get the funds immediately; instead, the payment is locked until specific conditions are met. Once those conditions are fulfilled, the receiver releases the funds by supplying a cryptographic key. This method is useful for secure transactions or deposits.

Terms of Service Review
RoboSats is a decentralized P2P Lightning exchange operating exclusively over the Tor network. It uses a no-registration model where users generate temporary avatars for each trade.
Tor-only operation
The platform strictly operates over the Tor network to ensure user IPs and locations remain hidden from the node and other trading peers.
No data collection
Users generate a temporary 'robot avatar' with a single click. No email, phone number, username, or other personal input is required.
Disposable identities
The architecture encourages using a different avatar for every trade to ensure multiple trades cannot be linked to the same user by observers.
PGP encryption
Every avatar has a pair of PGP keys to encrypt in-trade peer-to-peer communication end-to-end, which can be independently audited.
Escrow and bonds
Transactions use a taker bond and a trade escrow mechanism to secure funds until the peer-to-peer fiat exchange is finalized.

Comments
It's a very useful service for the ones who want to trade but at the same time want to maintain privacy.
Can i buy bitcoin here with fiat? How and where please? Thanks for helping me out here...
Works great, traded a lot on it without issues. Works great with Electrum Wallet.
I love Robosats! I believe that this is currently the best method for stacking sats. Now that Europe is becoming more and more like China, Robosats has become the only way I can buy btc (without KYC).
You cant buy anything with tether... why are all these exchanges fiat based?? i just want to swap crypto to crypto jesus christ.
What we will do without Robosats? An absolutely essential tool, anonymous, P2P
I find it ideal for lightning transactions. Simple, fast, run over Tor.
I have used RoboSats several dozen times without an issue. It requires no downloads other than Tor. NO KYC EVER. It is good for BTC transactions that are smaller like USD/Euro 1000. Many currencies are available though most market makers are USD or EUR. I love this site. Great for stacking seats discreetly.
Top service, nice, good job! i l be back
