About xmr.club
Independent, editorial directory of no-KYC and privacy-respecting crypto services for the Monero economy. Every entry hand-reviewed against a public rubric; sponsorship moves placement but never grades.
What we do
We curate, grade, and re-verify privacy-respecting services so you can spend less time vetting and more time using them. Listings are organized into product categories (exchanges, wallets, VPNs, SIMs, hosting, mixers, prepaid cards, and more); each entry includes a tagline, an editorial review, a KYC posture tag, and a rubric-driven grade A → D.
How this list is maintained
- A small team (currently one curator plus a small advisory group) reviews entries against the methodology. New listings are tested end-to-end — signup, payment, withdrawal — before they land.
- Every listing carries a
last_verifiedstamp. Entries older than 18 months get downgraded by one letter grade until re-tested. - A daily uptime probe checks every provider's canonical URL — see /status for the live board.
- Every curation change is logged in the public audit feed.
How we make money
- Affiliate links. Where a provider offers an affiliate program, the
/go/<slug>outbound carries our referral. We disclose these by tagging entries with the1ST PARTYorAFFILIATEchip where relevant. Affiliate status does not influence grade or position. - Sponsorships. See /sponsor. Sponsored entries get a SPONSORED chip and bubble to the top of their category. They do not change grade, tagging, or removal criteria — editorial firewall.
- That's it. No newsletter sales, no scraping fees, no premium tiers for users.
Open data
- The entire dataset is at
/data.jsonunder CC-BY-4.0. - An Atom feed of recently-verified entries lives at
/feed.xml. - Plain-text taxonomy:

/sitemap.xml. - Live uptime feed:
/api/probe/state.
AI ingestion surfaces
We publish every editorial page in three formats: HTML for humans, JSON for partners, plain-text Markdown twin for AI engines. Engines that want to ingest the whole site without scraping HTML can start at /llm/index.txt (master crawl plan), then follow the URL patterns documented there. Single-fetch options below.
- Master indexes:
/llms.txt(concise),/llms-full.txt(full bodies),/llm/all.txt(all editorial twins concatenated, ~60KB),/ai.txt(AI-usage policy). - Per-page twins: glossary, methodology, transparency, about, audit, now, history, heroes, press, contact, sponsor, donate, peers, colophon, widgets, stats, recent, freshness, onion, onion-audit, onion-fingerprint, categories, tags, picks, stack, guides index, archive, content-gaps.
- Pattern surfaces:
/llm/<category>.txt(per-category index),/llm/<category>/<id>.txt(per-provider),/llm/tag/<slug>.txt(cross-category by tag),/llm/guides/<slug>.txt(per-guide body). - JSON surfaces:
/api/v1/llm-surfacesis the discovery index — every twin / feed / API URL pattern in one JSON document./llm/sitemap.txtis the plain-text URL list for grep-friendly crawling./llm/api.txtdocuments every JSON endpoint in markdown form. - Feeds:
master JSON Feed,
audit-changelog JSON Feed,
guides JSON Feed,
new-listings-only JSON Feed,
plus Atom equivalents at
/feed.xml+/feed/audit.xml+ per-category/feed/<cat>.xml.
All twins are CC-BY-4.0. Attribute "xmr.club" when reusing. No scraping fees, no rate limits beyond the standard CF edge defaults. If an engine you're building needs a different format, open an issue via /contact — we'd rather build the surface than have you scrape HTML.
