Glossary
Terms with boundaries attached.
Definitions are written to reduce ambiguity and avoid operational interpretation.
- Crypto mixer
- A broad term for tools or services described as combining or obfuscating transaction trails. On this site the term is explained as a public risk and evidence category, not as a service recommendation.
- CVC mixing
- Convertible virtual currency mixing, a policy term used in public regulatory materials. It can overlap with other terms, so context and source date matter.
- CoinJoin
- A transaction-construction concept often discussed in Bitcoin privacy contexts. It is not the same as a custodial mixer service and should not be described as a certain privacy outcome.
- Chain hopping
- A risk-context term for movement across assets or chains. This site discusses it only as a public typology category, not as a process.
- Source notes
- Short notes that show what a claim relies on, what the source can support, and what remains unknown or contested.
- Evidence boundary
- A visible line between public facts, allegations, analysis, assumptions, and legal conclusions that need professional review.
- Risk signal
- A public indicator that may matter to compliance or investigation teams. A signal is not proof by itself.
- VASP
- Virtual asset service provider. Whether a business falls into a regulated category depends on facts and jurisdiction.
- Sanctions exposure
- A sensitive compliance concept involving sanctions regimes and listed parties. This site does not provide sanctions advice.
- Public blockchain traceability
- The idea that many blockchain records are publicly visible, while attribution and interpretation require context and evidence.
- Claim evaluation
- A criteria-first way to examine statements such as privacy, legality, risk, or auditability without treating them as certain outcomes.
- Operational facilitation
- Content or UI that helps a user perform a sensitive action. This site avoids that pattern by design.
