Supported Cryptocurrencies

Mega supports over 14 cryptocurrencies, with a focus on privacy, censorship resistance, and transaction speed. The most popular ones are listed below:

  • Monero (XMR) — the absolute leader in anonymity. It uses ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions. Ideal for any operation on Mega.
  • Bitcoin (BTC) — the most common cryptocurrency, but requires mixing through built-in or third-party services (e.g., Whirlpool, Wasabi).
  • Litecoin (LTC) — a fast alternative to BTC, suitable for quick transfers with low fees.
  • Dash — focused on privacy and speed thanks to its PrivateSend feature.
  • Ethereum (ETH) — accepted with limitations. Low anonymity; use only with mixing tools and anonymous wallets (e.g., Metamask via TOR).

Security Recommendations

To maintain full anonymity and avoid compromise:

  1. Use one address per transaction only.
  2. Never use wallets from centralized exchanges.
  3. Store seed phrases offline (paper, metal plates).
  4. Use two-factor authentication with PGP keys.
  5. Verify the site address through trusted sources (Telegram, PGP signatures).

Choosing a Wallet

For XMR, use Feather Wallet or Cake Wallet. For BTC, use Electrum connected to your own TOR node.

Before using any cryptocurrency, it's important to "zero out" all traces. This is achieved by:

  • Mixing incoming and outgoing transactions
  • Isolating activities through virtual machines
  • Encrypting logs (or disabling them entirely)

Additional Precautions

In addition to the obvious steps, Mega recommends users:

  • Regularly update wallets and software
  • Use only recommended Mega mirrors
  • Monitor TOR and I2P network statistics
  • Monitor login activity through your account dashboard
