## No-KYC + Monero-economy focus

- **KYCnot.me** — https://kycnot.me — strict editorial bar, no-KYC exchanges focus. Useful sanity check before trusting any swap aggregator. xmr.club shares several A-grade listings with them.
- **Monerica** — https://monerica.com — broadest Monero-economy index. Less editorial filter (more inclusive); great for discovery, then read xmr.club + KYCnot.me for the grading layer.
- **Monero Observer** — https://monero.observer — news / ecosystem journal, not strictly a directory; the standing reference for what's happened in the Monero economy week-to-week.

## Broader privacy-tools (not just crypto)

- **PrivacyGuides** — https://www.privacyguides.org — large community-curated privacy-software index. xmr.club's wallet / VPN / email picks largely agree with theirs.
- **PRISM Break** — https://prism-break.org — older but still useful FOSS-alternatives list. Less current than PrivacyGuides; valuable for historical-anchor view.
- **EFF — Issues** — https://www.eff.org/issues — civil-society policy / advocacy reference. Every directory inherits its standards from this work.

## How to use this

- Check at least two directories before trusting a listing. If we list a service A-grade but a peer flagged it, look closer.
- Multi-directory listings = stronger signal than a single grade.
- Disagreement is informative. Read both reasonings.

## Why we publish peers publicly

A privacy-tools reader who relies on a single source is brittle. Healthy pattern: small panel of independent directories (xmr.club + Monerica + KYCnot.me + PrivacyGuides). Each becomes less load-bearing; the panel as a whole is more trustworthy than any single member.
