Re-checked September 2026 against their public pages. Skhron is an Estonian company founded in Ukraine, selling cheap KVM VPS in Stockholm (and Warsaw, out of stock at the time of writing) with a self-hosted crypto gateway and a "no KYC" promise. On the payment side it is one of the closest things to us on the market, which is exactly why the differences elsewhere matter.

Skhron runs a self-hosted, non-custodial gateway and says no third party sees your transaction data. We run our own nodes and say the same. On this one axis the two companies are peers, and both are ahead of nearly everyone else on our comparison index. Their coin list is slightly wider (Lightning, Bitcoin Cash, MATIC); ours has BNB and USDT.
Skhron's homepage says no KYC is required, and we have no reason to doubt that nobody asks for a passport. Its privacy policy, though, lists first and last name, organization, country, city, postcode, email and phone number as the data collected when you sign up, plus IP addresses and page views on its websites. Not verifying an identity is not the same as not collecting one. Our signup collects none of those fields because the form does not have them.
A Skhron VPS is a standard KVM machine: cheap, fine, and readable by its operator, like any VPS without confidential computing. A Blackbox VM encrypts memory under AMD SEV-SNP, has no guest agent, encrypts its disk inside the guest, and with measured boot lets you recompute the launch measurement from published, reproducible artifacts before you type a passphrase. That difference is the whole reason our entry plan costs six times theirs.
Price, plainly: 1.69 euros for a small Swedish box is hard to argue with if you need a cheap endpoint and nothing more. Bitcoin Lightning. Custom ISO from any URL on every plan, which we are still building for Blackbox. A 99.95% SLA in writing. If your threat model is "a cheap server in the EU paid in Monero" and the host reading your RAM does not worry you, they are a sound choice.
What Skhron says where customers look, next to what the same company says in its own terms, privacy policy or page source. Quoted verbatim, source under each pair, checked 5 September 2026. Every provider, same test.
“self-hosted, non-custodial payment processor - no middlemen, no third-party tracking, no seized funds”
Their own policy says“Operator uses Stripe for payment services. Stripe collects identifying information about the devices that connect to Operators' websites.”
The promise is about their crypto rail; the policy is about their websites. A visitor reads both on the same site.
“we simply never see your IP address”
Their own policy says“This technical information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser information, and the preceding and succeeding websites you have visited”
The first sentence is their Tor FAQ, and over Tor it is true. The second is what their cookies collect the rest of the time.
“No KYC is required to order or use our services”
Their own policy says“Operator may collect certain contact information from you, such as your first and last name, organization name, country, city, state, zip code, email address, and phone number.”
Not verifying an identity is not the same as not collecting one.
The word "no KYC" on a homepage is a claim about verification. The privacy policy is the document about collection, and it is the one a subpoena is answered from. Skhron publishes both, which is more than many do; read the second before trusting the first, with us or with anyone.
Its homepage says no KYC is required to order, and its terms do not mention identity verification. Its privacy policy says name, address, email and phone are collected at signup. So: no verification, but an identity on file. Servury collects none of those fields.
Yes, through a self-hosted non-custodial gateway, alongside Bitcoin (including Lightning), Tron, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, MATIC and USDC, plus Visa, Mastercard and SEPA. We accept Monero, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, BNB, Tron, USDT and USDC on our own nodes, plus cards.
Skhron, by a wide margin: from 1.69 euros for a shared-vCPU 512 MiB box in Stockholm. Our entry plan is $9.99 for 2 vCPU, 4 GB, encrypted memory and measured boot. They are different products; if you only need the small box, buy the small box.
Stockholm, Sweden, with Warsaw, Poland listed but out of stock when we checked. The company is registered in Estonia and was founded in Ukraine. Servury has eight locations across North America, Europe and Asia.
Yes, every plan supports installing from an external ISO URL and mounting ISOs from the control panel. We are adding custom ISO to the Blackbox line.
No email, no KYC, crypto accepted, live in thirty seconds across eight locations.
