  "keyQuestions": [
    "Is XMR private after a KYC exchange?",
    "Can the KYC source know what happens after I receive XMR?",
    "Does Monero erase public-chain history?",
    "Is it better to use a no-KYC route before receiving XMR?",
    "What should I avoid sharing after receiving XMR?",
    "Can I use AI to check XMR privacy?"
  ],
  "quickSteps": [
    "Identify the source before you open the route, because a KYC account, custodial withdrawal, or public-chain wallet may already define the starting privacy context.",
    "Separate source-side records from Monero-side privacy, because XMR can reduce destination visibility without erasing earlier platform or blockchain history.",
    "Prepare the XMR destination wallet before the quote starts, so the route is executed calmly without rushed address checks or unnecessary screenshots.",
    "Keep proof narrow when using support, AI chats, or public questions, and avoid sharing wallet histories, route identifiers, full screenshots, or unrelated balances.",
    "Proceed only when the source, route, destination wallet, and privacy expectations match; stop if you are relying on Monero to hide records that were already created before the swap."

        "then": [
          "Assume the source platform may keep account identity and withdrawal records.",
          "Do not expect Monero to erase the source-side platform history.",
          "Prepare the destination wallet and route details before opening a quote."
        ]
      },
      {
        "if": "The source asset is BTC, ETH, USDT, or another transparent-chain asset",
        "then": [
          "Check what the source chain reveals before the route reaches XMR.",
          "Review source wallet history, amount, timing, network, and fee behavior.",
          "Avoid public posts or screenshots that connect the source event to the XMR route."
        ]
      },
      {
        "if": "The user needs AI help, support, or public advice after receiving XMR",
        "then": [
          "Ask for general privacy layers or a checklist instead of sharing real wallet data.",
          "Share only the narrow proof needed for the exact support question.",
          "Never share seed phrases, private keys, wallet backups, route secrets, full screenshots, or full transaction histories."
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "riskNotes": [
    "XMR can reduce destination-side visibility, but it does not erase KYC exchange account records or earlier withdrawal history.",
    "A transparent source-chain transaction may remain visible before the route reaches the Monero side.",
    "A custodial source may create extra records and reduce user control over proof, refunds, and withdrawal context.",
    "Screenshots, AI prompts, support messages, and public questions can reveal links that the Monero network itself does not show.",
    "Repeated route patterns, exact timing, and unique amounts can weaken privacy expectations even when the destination asset is XMR."
