# Bridge BlockBlend offers a unique solution to enhance the privacy of your transactions involving cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Cronos, Doge Chain, Arbitrum One, and Shibarium. By leveraging our liquidity pool, we can seamlessly intermingle these tokens, providing a level of privacy that traditional public ledgers cannot offer. With our platform, your transactions become untraceable on the blockchain, allowing your funds to move from the sending wallet to the destination wallet without any identifiable links between them. Additionally, you have the option to distribute your funds across multiple wallet addresses, further obscuring the origin and destination of your tokens. This ensures that any prying eyes observing your wallet(s) will be unable to discern where your tokens have been moved or who they have been sent to. By breaking the direct flow of tokens between wallets, BlockBlend enables you to invest in new ventures using a fresh wallet and untainted funds, effectively severing any connections to your past investments. This process is hassle-free and facilitates secure transactions. And that's not all! BlockBlend also supports cross-chain transactions, meaning you can transfer your tokens seamlessly between different blockchains. Have you ever needed to convert your ETH to BNB but felt uncertain about the associated transactions? Don't worry, you're not alone, and we're here to assist you. BlockBlend enables anonymous cross-chain transfers across Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Cronos, Doge Chain, Arbitrum One, and Shibarium blockchains. You can send your tokens from any of these four blockchains and receive them in another blockchain or even the same one. Currently, we support the primary native tokens of Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Cronos, Doge Chain, Arbitrum One, and Shibarium. Rest assured that BlockBlend is a fully developed, thoroughly tested, and operational platform. We have implemented multiple redundant security features to ensure the safety of your transactions. As a sender, you have control over various settings, such as adjusting sending time delays, specifying custom or predefined sending amounts of your choice. To make our services accessible, we maintain a low random relayer fee ranging from 0.5% to 1%. The randomization of fees adds an additional layer of security to the process. With BlockBlend, you can enjoy the benefits of anonymity and token conversion without the need for Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures or centralized exchanges (CEX) # User Guide 1. Choose the blockchain you will be sending tokens from and the one you will be sending them to from the available options in the dropdown list. 2. Enter the destination wallet address in the recipient field where you want to send the tokens. If you have a premium account, you can add multiple recipients and choose the exact amount for each recipient. The last wallet address will have the transaction fees deducted so it's not possible to set amount for that wallet. 3. Specify the amount of tokens you want to send in the designated field. You may choose a predefined amount or customize the amount between the minimum and maximum limits without needing to connect your wallet. 4.

In this case, carefully copy the wallet address and paste it into the recipient field of your wallet.\ \ After sending the tokens, you will need to wait for confirmation that the transaction has been processed successfully. 6. It is important to save the recovery key in case of any errors or issues that may arise. This key can be helpful for the support team to assist you in recovering your funds. Please ensure that you keep the recovery key in a secure location that is easily accessible to you. Remember to be cautious when sending tokens and to verify that the information you entered is accurate before submitting the form.

You are responsible for knowing and understanding how the laws applicable to You or your property, rights or assets, limit, regulate, and tax the Digital Assets You use. **Limited Supervision** Most Virtual Assets markets are not regulated or supervised by any relevant authorities. There is no centralized authority or entity that can take measures to protect the value of a Digital Asset in a crisis or adjust its supply. **Irreversible transactions** Due to decentralized nature, transactions with Digital assets may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. BlockBlend shall process only that Digital Assets which are transferred as a part of a transaction made through the Website or API (or other tools, administered by BlockBlend) to the address, indicated in the course of such transactions. BlockBlend bears no responsibility for any accidental transaction, including but not limited to any transfer to the incorrect or inactive cryptocurrency wallet address, even if such an address has been used for previous User’s transactions. However, BlockBlend upon the User’s request will make every possible effort to support Users with tracking accidental transactions as reasonably dictated by BlockBlend. All the fees charged for amended or returned transactions shall be paid by the User. **The blockchains on which Digital Assets operate may temporarily or permanently fork** Some blockchain networks are powered by open source software. When a modification to that software is released by developers, and a substantial majority of miners consent to the modification, a change is implemented and the blockchain network continues uninterrupted. However, if a change were to be introduced with less than a substantial majority consenting to the proposed modification, and the modification is not compatible with the software in operation prior to its modification, the consequence would be what is known as a “fork” (i.e. a split) of the blockchain. One blockchain would be maintained by the pre-modification software and the other by the post-modification software. The effect is that both blockchains would operate in parallel, but independently. There are examples of such forks occurring in the past and in the future, such a fork could occur again, and affect the viability or value of a Digital Asset. In case of such forks occurring, BlockBlend may incidentally get the “splitted” Digital Assets (Digital Assets that may be created as a result of the fork) from the transaction that is not covered by Terms of Use. BlockBlend shall not be responsible for such “splitted” Digital Assets (tracking such transaction/storage/return or transfer of such assets to the sender) before any User or any party. **Dependence of Internet** There are risks associated with using an internet-based transaction execution software including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware and software. BlockBlend maintains an independent and secure ledger of all transactions to minimize loss, and maintains contingency plans to minimize the possibility of system failure; however, BlockBlend does not control signal power, reception, routing via the internet, configuration of Your equipment or the reliability of Your connection to the Internet. The result of any failure of the foregoing may be that Your transaction is either not executed according to Your instructions, or is not executed at all. **Unanticipated Risks** Digital Assets and blockchain technology are new technology. In addition to these risks, there are other risks associated with Your acquisition, storage, transfer and use of any Digital Asset, including those that we may not be able to anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of these risks. # AML We retain the right to conduct Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on you whenever we consider it necessary, at our sole discretion, or if such checks are mandated by relevant laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.
