Why Kyro exists

The problem

Holding your own keys protects your coins. It does nothing for your privacy on its own. Every balance check tells a server which addresses you care about and which IP address asked. Put enough of those requests in one log and your wallet has a name on it.

Most of that traffic is invisible, so nobody notices. Kyro starts from the other end: a desktop wallet where the private path is the default, and where you have to choose, in a system window, to leave it.

What Kyro holds to

• Your keys are yours. The recovery phrase is encrypted on your computer. Nobody else, developers included, can move your funds.
• No account. No email, no sign-up, no server holding funds.
• No analytics. One anonymous weekly count over Tor, which you can turn off.
• You read what you sign. Rust decodes each transaction and a native window shows it.
• Limits are published. What Kyro cannot protect you from is written down, chain by chain.

How it is paid for

Kyro is free. The swap fee, from 0.7%, funds the project, and it is public: the rates sit in one open source file. Sending, receiving and staking carry no Kyro fee. Donations and GitHub Sponsors help too.

What Kyro is not

• It is not a bank, an exchange or a custodian. If you lose your phrase and your computer, nobody can recover your funds.
• It is not a promise of anonymity. Tor hides your IP address. Public blockchains stay public.
• It is not externally audited yet. An internal security review has been done; no independent audit has been published.
• It is not on your phone. Kyro is desktop only. A mobile app using the name is not ours.
