Where Monero is used

Common use cases include private personal transfers, donations, payments where financial confidentiality matters, and holding value without exposing a complete transaction history to the public.

Important

Privacy does not equal illegality. Monero can be used for lawful or unlawful purposes, just like cash and many other payment tools. The technology itself is designed to protect financial confidentiality.

Legal note

Monero is legal to use in many jurisdictions, although some exchanges restrict XMR because of regulatory requirements. Users should check the rules that apply where they live.
