FAQ
What is Crosterix?
Crosterix is a privacy-first Web3 platform that lets users:
Swap tokens anonymously,
Share encrypted files, and
Bridge assets privately across multiple blockchains.
It runs entirely in your browser — meaning there’s no central server, no user data collection, and no wallet tracking. Crosterix combines stealth addresses, client-side encryption, and decentralized APIs (like 1inch, Lighthouse, and Socket) to make every on-chain action private and unlinkable.
2. What makes Crosterix different from other DeFi or privacy tools?
Unlike standard DEXs or mixers, Crosterix focuses on true end-to-end privacy without custody or obfuscation.
Here’s how it’s different:
Feature
Traditional DEX
Mixer / Tornado
Crosterix
Custody
No
Yes (temporarily)
❌ Non-custodial
Anonymity
Limited
High
✅ Full (stealth address)
Server Logs
Sometimes
Yes
❌ None
File Encryption
❌ No
❌ No
✅ Built-in (Lit + IPFS)
Cross-Chain
Sometimes
❌ No
✅ Multi-chain (Socket / Li.Fi)
Legal Compliance
✅
⚠️ Risky
✅ Privacy by Design
Crosterix doesn’t hide transactions it unlinkes them using cryptographic stealth methods while keeping everything fully verifiable on-chain.
3. What is $CTX and how does it work?
$CTX (Crosterix Token) is the utility, governance, and reward token of the Crosterix ecosystem.
It powers:
💠 Transaction rewards: Earn rewards from platform activity.
🧱 Governance: Vote on proposals, tax adjustments, or integrations.
🔒 Staking: Earn passive income from swap and bridge fees.
🚀 Ecosystem growth: Fund new partnerships and privacy features.
$CTX has:
Total Supply: 1 Billion
Tax: 5% buy / 5% sell
Liquidity: Locked permanently
Network: Ethereum Mainnet (ERC-20)
Long-term model: deflationary + revenue-sharing.
4. Is Crosterix a mixer or money-laundering tool?
No ❌ Crosterix is not a mixer. It never holds or obscures funds. Instead, it uses stealth address generation and client-side cryptography to make transactions unlinkable — without breaking on-chain transparency.
This ensures:
Users retain full ownership of funds.
No centralized pool or fund mixing.
100% compliance with ethical privacy standards.
Crosterix is a privacy layer, not a concealment service.
5. How does the Private Swap feature work?
Private Swap uses APIs from 1inch and 0x to find the best price routes, but executes swaps through temporary stealth addresses, keeping your main wallet hidden.
Process:
You select tokens (e.g., ETH → USDC).
Crosterix generates a one-time stealth address.
The transaction is signed locally in your wallet.
Swap executes on-chain via the aggregator.
Funds are received privately in your wallet — untraceable by analytics tools.
Everything happens inside your browser, and no transaction data is ever stored.
6. How does Stealth File Share work?
Stealth File Share is a decentralized version of “WeTransfer,” but encrypted and blockchain-access controlled.
Steps:
You upload a file.
Crosterix encrypts it locally with Lit Protocol.
The encrypted file is uploaded to Lighthouse (IPFS).
Crosterix generates a private access link.
Only the recipient’s wallet can decrypt and download it.
You can also set an expiry time (e.g., 24 hours or 1 access). After expiration, the link becomes invalid automatically.
7. How does the Cross-Chain Bridge ensure privacy?
When bridging assets between chains, Crosterix allows you to:
Send from Address A (source chain)
Receive at Address B (stealth address) (destination chain)
This breaks the trace between wallets across chains. The bridge route is executed via Socket or Li.Fi API directly from your browser — no backend logging.
So, even though the bridge is verifiable on-chain, nobody can connect your origin wallet to the destination address.
8. How is my data protected?
Crosterix never collects or stores personal data. All sensitive actions are performed locally, not on a server.
Data security stack:
Encryption: AES-256-GCM (Lit Protocol)
Storage: Lighthouse (IPFS, decentralized)
Metadata: Supabase (only expiry, not user info)
Network Privacy: Optional VPN or private gas relay
Even if someone gains access to the file link or RPC logs, they cannot decrypt or identify the sender or receiver.
9. How does the 5% / 5% tax work?
Every buy or sell of $CTX on Ethereum has a 5% tax applied.
2%
Added to liquidity pool for stability
1%
Buyback and burn (reducing supply)
1%
Sent to staking rewards pool
1%
Development and future updates
This system funds ecosystem growth, rewards holders, and ensures liquidity remains deep and locked.
10. What does “LP Locked” mean?
Liquidity Pool (LP) Locked means the tokens paired with ETH (for trading on DEXs) are locked permanently or for a long period in a verified smart contract.
This prevents developers or anyone else from pulling liquidity — making Crosterix rug-pull proof and fully transparent.
11. How can I earn with Crosterix?
You can earn in multiple ways:
Stake CTX to receive a share of platform revenue (swap + bridge fees).
Use the DApp actively (swap-to-earn program).
Join the DAO and earn voting incentives.
Refer new users (future referral system planned).
Rewards are distributed automatically to stakers in CTX or ETH.
12. Is Crosterix open-source?
Yes. The Crosterix SDK, smart contract references, and frontend code will be gradually open-sourced after mainnet stability is confirmed. This allows developers to verify the privacy logic and contribute to new modules.
13. Will there be a Crosterix mobile app?
Yes in development. A progressive web app (PWA) and mobile version are planned after the full SDK release. The mobile version will include:
Private swaps
Encrypted file sharing
Privacy dashboard and score
Wallet integration (MetaMask, Trust, WalletConnect)
14. What chains does Crosterix support?
Currently:
Ethereum Mainnet
Coming next:
BNB Chain
Polygon
Arbitrum
Base
Avalanche
All privacy features (swap, bridge, file share) will work the same across supported chains.
15. Is Crosterix safe to use?
Yes. Crosterix uses audited smart contracts (from 1inch, 0x, Socket, etc.) and performs all critical logic client-side. There are:
No backend servers,
No stored private keys,
No access to user funds.
Still, users should:
Always verify URLs (official domains only),
Never share private keys,
Use hardware wallets for added protection.
16. What is the long-term goal of Crosterix?
Crosterix aims to become the universal privacy layer for Web3. Its goal is to give every blockchain user the ability to:
Transact,
Swap,
Bridge,
Share data
…without revealing their identity — across all chains.
In the long term, Crosterix will evolve into:
A multi-chain privacy SDK,
A community-owned DAO, and
A network of private relayers and AI privacy tools.
17. How can developers integrate Crosterix?
Developers can use the official SDK:
npm install @crosterix/sdkand call simple functions such as:
await crosterix.privateSwap();
await crosterix.generateStealthAddress();
await crosterix.encryptFile();No backend or server setup is required — just wallet connection and client-side API keys (1inch, Lit, Lighthouse, etc.).
