Trust & Safety

Built for the riskiest moment in a private sale.

Chainr is built for one specific moment: when two strangers are about to exchange money and goods in a private sale. We verify both sides, record the handover, and create a certificate both parties can keep. We do not hold the money, guarantee the item, or expose private details to the other party.

At a glance

What Chainr does, and where it stops.

We are deliberately clear about our role. Chainr adds identity verification and handover proof around your sale. It does not step into the deal itself.

Chainr does
  • Verify both the buyer and the seller
  • Record the handover with a 6-digit code
  • Issue a certificate both parties can keep and check
Chainr does not
  • Hold the money or the item (it is not escrow)
  • Authenticate, grade or guarantee the item
  • Show your address or ID to the other party
Your privacy

Your address is never shown to the other party.

The other party sees your verified name on the certificate. They do not see your residential address, ID document, selfie, card details or contact details.

Chainr is designed to prove identity without exposing unnecessary private information.

Shown on the certificate
  • Verified legal names
  • Item and agreed price
  • Handover confirmation
Kept private
  • Residential address
  • ID document & selfie
  • Card & contact details

Proof anyone can check

The certificate can be checked.

Every Chainr certificate has a unique CR reference. This lets a certificate be checked so both parties can confirm the record is genuine.

Where Chainr stops

The honest boundaries.

Knowing what Chainr is not is part of using it safely. Two limits matter most.

Chainr is not escrow

Chainr does not hold the buyer's money, hold the seller's item, process the private sale payment, or release funds after handover.

You still choose how to pay or get paid. Chainr adds identity verification and handover proof around the sale.

Chainr does not authenticate the item

Chainr verifies the people involved. It does not inspect the item, guarantee condition, confirm ownership history, prove authenticity, or guarantee that an item will not later be reported, blocked or disputed.

For high-value goods, always check receipts, serial numbers, condition, proof of purchase and any specialist authentication before handover.

Evidence & disputes

Evidence is controlled.

Chainr does not let one party request the other person's address. Evidence packs are only released through proper law-enforcement or court processes.

If something goes wrong, report it through the correct official route. Chainr can support the record, but it does not decide the dispute.

Law enforcement can reach us at evidence@chainr.app. Everything else goes to hello@chainr.app.

The simple rule

Chainr gives you a verified paper trail.

It does not replace common sense, safe payment methods, item checks or legal advice.

Ready when you are.

Both parties verify, you both get a certificate, and the whole thing takes under three minutes.
