What is Incognito?

Incognito brings practical privacy to Bungee. When enabled, your source and destination wallets are unlinked on-chain, so there’s no direct on-chain link between them. Think of it like incognito mode in your browser: you just toggle it on and leave no traces. No special tokens to hold. No sign up. No workflow changes. Toggle it on and swap as usual.

How It Works

  1. Toggle Incognito on the Bungee app.
  2. Choose your route. Select source and destination chains and tokens. You can pick the same token on the same chain (e.g. USDC on Arbitrum to USDC on Arbitrum) or bridge across chains, just like a regular swap.
  3. Enter a receiving address. This is the key step. Use a different wallet from your sending address. The whole point of incognito is that there’s no on-chain link between the two.
  4. Confirm the transaction. Your funds are routed so the sending and receiving wallets are unlinked on-chain.
Incognito is powered by Houdini Swap. Under the hood, transactions are routed through regulated centralized exchanges to break the on-chain link between wallets, subject to applicable compliance requirements. This isn’t encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, or on-chain mixing. It’s practical unlinking using the same infrastructure that already handles millions of transactions daily.
Try out Incognito on the Bungee app.

Key Features

  • One click. No extra steps, no complicated setup.
  • 25+ chains & 100+ tokens. Works across the networks and assets you already use.
  • No KYC. No identity verification required under normal circumstances.
  • Compliant — transactions are screened subject to applicable legal and compliance requirements and may trigger KYC or other checks depending on jurisdiction.

Tracking Your Transaction

After submitting an incognito swap, you’ll receive an Order ID. Use this to track the status of your transaction. Since incognito routes break the on-chain link, standard block explorers won’t show a direct connection between your wallets. The Order ID is your reference. Do not share it publicly. The Bungee App itself only stores that information locally on your browser. Please note that compliance requirements and KYC policies may vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change.

FAQs

Is this like Tornado Cash or mixing services?

No. Incognito doesn’t use on-chain mixing pools, zero-knowledge proofs, or encryption. It routes through centralized exchanges to unlink source and destination wallets. The exchanges involved are regulated and screen for illicit funds, so there’s no risk of your funds being commingled with flagged wallets.

Do I need KYC?

No KYC is required under normal circumstances. However, if a transaction is flagged as suspicious by the compliance layer, KYC may be requested. If this happens, reach out to Bungee support with your Order ID for assistance.

How private is it?

Incognito provides practical privacy. Your sending and receiving wallets are unlinked on-chain. The regulated exchanges involved in routing can see the transaction, similar to how your bank can see your transfers but the public can’t. It’s not total anonymity. For most users who just don’t want every transfer publicly traceable, it’s sufficient.

How long does an incognito swap take?

Timing depends on the chains and tokens involved, similar to regular Bungee swaps. Most transactions complete within 10-30 mins. The UI should show you an estimated time before you swap.

Are there minimum or maximum amounts?

Yes, some routes have min/max limits. The app will show these when you enter an amount outside the supported range.

What if my transaction gets stuck?

Use your Order ID to check status in the app. If it’s been stuck for an extended period, reach out to Bungee support with your Order ID.
