Exolix review
Exolix is a swap service that draws liquidity from centralized exchanges and says it offers 514+ cryptocurrencies. Swaps run without creating an account, and the exchange rate is locked for 60 minutes, with no separate fee. Its risk-based compliance measures may require users to provide identification, a selfie or liveness verification, proof of address, and the source of funds. Transactions might be suspended or delayed pending the completion of the review. Exolix's terms prohibit transactions in jurisdictions under blanket sanctions or where its use is illegal. In our view, Exolix is suitable for those who prefer a locked rate and are willing to undergo possible compliance reviews.

Exolix asks for ID only if a payment is flagged, per its own pages.

Where you live and the provider's terms
Many services on this page do not serve every country. Some exclude people because of where they live or their citizenship, not only where they connect from. Read the provider's terms before you send funds. If the terms exclude you, do not use the service, and do not try to get around the restriction, for example with a VPN.
Taxes
A service that does not ask for ID does not change your taxes. In the US, the federal income tax return asks a yes-or-no question about digital assets, and you must report digital asset transactions whether or not they result in a gain or loss. In the UK, you may owe Capital Gains Tax when you sell, swap or spend crypto, and you must keep your own records. Rules in other countries differ.
No KYC is not anonymity
"No KYC" here means the provider says it does not ask for ID in the cases its terms describe. It does not make you anonymous. Exolix's terms say it can ask for ID in these cases: Transaction amount; transaction frequency; blockchain analysis results; source of funds indications; sanctions screening results; geographical risks; wallet risk assessment; pattern of suspicious transactions; request of regulatory or law enforcement agencies; third party exchanges requirements; EDD: high value transactions, high risk jurisdictions, PEP, sanctions, high risk wallets. Regulated exchanges you send funds from or to may have to collect information about who sends and who receives a crypto transfer. Your tax duties stay the same.
Funds can be held
If a provider asks for more information during a swap or a withdrawal, it may hold your funds until it gets it. Its terms decide what happens next. In the UK, a crypto business that asks for information on a transfer to or from a self-custody wallet, and does not receive it, must not pass the funds on. Read what the provider's terms say before you send. Exolix's terms say that if a check is requested and not completed: transactions can be suspended or delayed until the review is complete; if the user refuses source-of-funds information for funds flagged as suspicious, Exolix is not responsible for a refund or completion; no fee stated.
