I understand what you're trying to do, but not why do you want to do it?

🧾 I want full AML traceability: I can tell who originally deposited the BTC and who owns it at any point.

Is this about following regulations? Because there are obviously other ways to go by this.

Also, wouldn't this be problematic for the user? I would imagine that having a transaction from Paxful's hot wallet for example, is "safer" in terms of KYT solutions detecting it as "suspicious" compared to the approach you want to follow, where funds go from Person A -> one-time use address -> Person B?

Isn't the second approach likely to get flagged by an exchange if "Person A" funds are coming from darknet markets, mixers, etc.?

Good question — and this is intentional.

I don't want to act as a centralized intermediary or mixer. I only collect the ~1% fee; users trade directly. Routing funds through my pool would make me responsible for what flows through it, which I want to avoid.

The direct flow (A → 1-time address → B) keeps traceability intact. If coins are tainted, the recipient sees that and can decide. I’m not here to "clean" funds — just to provide the framework.

Yes, this might lead to flags, but that’s part of enforcing transparency and responsibility.

I’m also exploring a transparent L2 system (privacy-respecting) so users can audit internal flows themselves.
