About Ethereum and Monero
Ethereum is the leading smart-contract network and the home of most DeFi and tokens. Monero is a privacy coin that hides senders, receivers and amounts by default. ShadowEX lets you move between the two in one step: no exchange account, no order book, no withdrawal limits and no identity checks.
