How browser anti-detection can help you work with cryptocurrencies

[Lord777]

With the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, the number of problems has also increased: scammers often try to steal keys to wallets, government agencies try to identify the owners of cryptocurrencies, and crypto exchanges increase the level of verification of users and at the same time block their access to assets.

One of the tools that will help you cope with all these tasks is the anti — detect browser. Below we will tell you how useful such programs are and what to pay attention to when choosing an anti-detection tool.

Briefly about how crypto wallets work ​

To store and perform operations with cryptocurrencies, users need crypto wallets. Crypto wallets have two types of keys: public and private.

Anyone can know the public key, because this data is used to transfer cryptocurrencies. A private key allows you to manage cryptocurrency and perform operations with it. Without it, you can't access operations with cryptocurrencies.

The crypto wallets themselves are divided into two types::​

• Custodial wallets are wallets where keys are transferred for storage to a third party (custodian). In return, the third party is obligated to protect these keys and access to users ' cryptocurrencies. Custodial wallets offer well-known crypto platforms, such as Binance and Bitfinex. The advantage of such wallets: if you forget your private cryptographic key, there is a chance to restore it with the help of a third party who has access to it. Disadvantage: the user may be denied access to the wallet for reasons beyond their control. For example, in March 2022, the Coinbase crypto exchange closed 25 thousand Russian wallets. Moreover, crypto exchanges were repeatedly hacked, which caused users to lose their assets.
• Non-custodial wallets are wallets where only the wallet owner has access to keys. Such wallets are stored, for example, on a flash drive, in the form of a mobile application, a program on a computer, or even printed in paper form. In this case, the entire responsibility for the security and storage of cryptographic keys is on the user, because only you will have access to the key. There have been cases in history when non-custodial wallets were accidentally thrown away or lost, which caused the user to lose access to their funds.

What are the difficulties when working with crypto platforms? ​

We have collected the main problems that users face when working with crypto platforms and crypto exchanges.

Strict moderation​

When creating custodial wallets, the cryptoplatform will request your passport data and take your selfie from different angles online. There are several reasons for this:

• Restore access. If you forget your wallet details, you can try to restore access to it through the support service. To do this, the platform needs maximum information about you.
• Providing protection. Since in the case of custodial wallets, the exchange assumes responsibility for storing keys, it is important for it to know who exactly creates the wallet. To do this, in addition to direct personal data, the crypto exchange collects data about what device you use to access the platform, where you are located, etc.
• Changing the service rules. Knowing which country the user is from, the platform will be able to apply certain rules of its service to citizens of specific countries. Unfortunately, this sometimes turns against users: in April 2022, the Binance crypto exchange restricted access to cryptocurrency operations for all Russian users whose assets exceeded 10,000 euros. At the time of publishing this text, if the amount exceeds the specified limit, the user can only withdraw funds.

Deanonymizing the user​

Although the blockchain stores information about all transactions with a specific cryptocurrency, it does not specify the personal data of wallet owners. This allows the user to remain anonymous.

However, since custodial wallets require the provision of personal data, including a scan of a foreign passport or driver's license, in fact, the data of the wallet owner may be declassified. For example, if an exchange is hacked, a request from government agencies or a court decision is received, and the human factor cannot be canceled: data about the owners of wallets can be sold at a high price.

Banning the creation of multiple accounts​

Most services and platforms require the user to have no more than one account. The reason is simple: if a user tries to hide himself behind other people's data, he can potentially pose a threat.

Risk of key theft​

If you use an unsecured connection, there is a risk of theft of the private key, which just gives access to operations with cryptoassets.

How browser anti-detection can help you work with cryptocurrencies ​

Anti-detection browsers are special programs that can change users digital fingerprints. Fingerprints are a collection of anonymized data about the user's device and browser. This includes dozens of parameters, including language, time zone, screen resolution, IP address, browser type and version, operating system and its version, Canvas, WebRTC, etc.

With the help of anti-detection, you can create your own unique digital fingerprint in each individual browser tab. This will help:

• create accounts with different fingerprints. This allows you to work simultaneously with different accounts of the same service in separate browser tabs. For example, during the February sales on Coinlist, users of the Dolphin{anty} anti-detection browser were able to successfully use different accounts and buy the tokens they needed. Additionally, the anti-detection tool will help in the current situation when operations on the Binance exchange are restricted for Russian users.
• circumvent restrictions and prohibitions of anti-fraud systems.
• increase the level of anonymity. By changing your fingerprint, you can hide your real data from both anti-fraud systems and fraudsters.
• protect yourself from hacking by IP address.

Please note that to replace the IP address, you need to additionally buy a proxy and enter their data in the anti-detect browser. We do not recommend using free proxies: this is not secure and such IP addresses are usually already blocked on all popular services.

Anti-detection browsers cost an average of$ 80-100 per month. However, depending on the pricing plan and the specific browser, there may be restrictions on the number of browser profiles created — individual profiles where you can work under different accounts with different fingerprints.

Before you fully start working with the anti-detect browser, test it during the trial period. At this time, it is better not to enter "battle accounts" in the browser to make sure that the program works properly. Unfortunately, not all browsers have this option.

One of the exceptions is Dolphin{anty} ️ The anti-detect browser has a 4-day trial period and a completely free plan with no restrictions on functionality. You can create up to 10 profiles on the free plan. If you want to try anti-detect browser, follow the link to find simple instructions on how to download and configure Dolphin{anty} in 5 minutes.
