ChangeHero KYC after deposit — next time read peer Offers before you send
The Instant form said no registration, no KYC. You sent BTC (or another supported coin) into a ChangeHero deposit for XMR. Then the order froze: risk engine flag, identity documents, maybe source-of-funds — while their Terms say refusing KYC can mean a refund minus network costs and a 10% operational fee (floor in USD). Coins already left your wallet. Next time, put a peer BUY card next to the Instant quote before you broadcast.

What the hold actually is
ChangeHero positions as a no-signup Instant desk for pairs such as BTC→XMR. Public AML/KYC copy also says an automated risk-scoring system can put a transaction on hold and ask for AML & KYC verification. Their Terms describe enhanced checks and a fee-bearing refund path if you refuse. That is a provider window, not a peer trade.
Same family of trap: FixedFloat KYC after deposit, SimpleSwap KYC hold, Godex KYC after deposit. Fee / privacy framing: Privacy tax on KYC Monero swaps. Abort before deposit: Got a swap quote — when to abort.
Next-time habit (peer compare first)
- Verify @domestic_monero_bot — Verify official.
- Open Offers. Filter the asset you were about to deposit (BTC, ETH, USDT ERC-20, …).
- Put Instant’s “you receive” XMR next to the peer card’s rate / limits / deviation.
- If the peer card wins on all-in and fits min/max, accept — then send to the trade address, not the Instant deposit.
- Save the trade share. Support is
/support+ Trade #ref only.
Domestic Monero does not promise Instant-minute settlement. It promises a readable peer card before you risk a post-deposit ID queue — and before a refuse-KYC refund can clip a double-digit operational fee.
If you are already stuck mid-hold
Follow ChangeHero’s order page / support flow from the address on the order. Domestic Monero cannot unblock their desk. After funds return (minus fees), re-run the peer compare before the next deposit. Do not paste trade shares or seeds into anyone claiming to be “swap support.”

FAQ
Does “no KYC” on ChangeHero mean never?
No. It usually means no signup on the happy path. Flagged deposits can still open an identity path after you send — read their current AML/KYC page and Terms.
Does Domestic Monero freeze deposits for ID?
DM is peer Offers with staged settlement and a trade share — not an Instant deposit desk. Different failure modes.
USDT network?
On Domestic Monero, USDT is ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet only — not TRC-20/BEP-20.
What to do next
Open @domestic_monero_bot → Offers → filter the asset you were about to Instant-deposit → read peer rate and limits before you send.
