Sovereign Rerouter

A privacy-routing swap from an established self-hosting brand. Sovereign Stack's Re-router lets you send one asset and receive another through their relay — the point isn't the best rate, it's breaking the on-chain link between what you sent and what you get back. Monero sits naturally in that flow as the private intermediary. The parent brand has been around since 2021 (both the domain and the re-router product show ~5 years of Wayback history), so this isn't a fresh throwaway — it's a mature operator in the self-sovereignty niche.

Privacy posture is the selling point, and it reads honestly. Their terms state plainly that they *"do not store any information about users longer than required to complete a re-route,"* and that records are purged within 24 hours of you receiving your funds — retained only that long because they're *"required for refunds."* Escrow is available on request for anyone who wants a trust anchor on a larger route. A nice transparency touch: they publish a live Monero block height on the terms page as a freshness/proof-of-life signal.

Custody: funds pass through them while the route settles. Like any swap/router, they briefly hold value mid-route (that's what makes refunds possible), so this is *not* non-custodial — send only what the route needs and move on. Standard shape for the category; the 24h purge and escrow option are the mitigations.

Why C, and what would lift it. This grade is *not* about tenure — 5 years is a point in its favour. It's capped by two honest gaps: the actual swap widget is JavaScript-gated, so we could not verify the coin list, the fee/spread, or the exact XMR path first-party; and independent third-party reputation on the re-router specifically is thin. A clean curator test-swap (a small XMR route, confirming the mechanism and the disclosed fee) would close both and put a B- squarely on the table. Until then: a credible, privacy-forward router from a real operator — graded conservatively because we grade what we can verify, not what we're told.
