  "quickSteps": [
    "Treat no-KYC as data minimization, not invisibility.",

    "Do a small test transfer first to validate network, address, memo/tag.",
    "Compare all-in costs (spread + gas/fees), not only the headline rate.",
    "Keep records privately (txids, receipts) for support and provenance.",
