Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much AVAX to send and enter your Monero address on Monero mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer AVAX to the address on your order — after confirmations, XMR is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Avalanche C-Chain confirmations are typically very fast — often under a minute.
- Send AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain only — not X-Chain or P-Chain unless your order specifies them.
- Use a C-Chain compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough AVAX for gas.
- XMR not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Use an Avalanche C-Chain wallet for deposits. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses are not interchangeable with C-Chain.
Leave enough AVAX in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Monero — private by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.
XMR not visible yet?
Wait for wallet sync to complete — Monero often needs several minutes to reflect incoming outputs.
If the order lists a payout tx but your synced wallet shows nothing, contact support.
Receiving XMR privately
Monero payouts use one-time addresses — your wallet must finish scanning recent blocks to display the balance.
- Use a fresh subaddress for each swap rather than reusing old receive addresses.
- Compare your wallet block height with a public explorer before assuming a payout failed.
- Allow extra time after the order shows sent — privacy features can delay wallet display.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap AVAX to XMR?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Avalanche to Monero swaps.
How long does AVAX to XMR take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Avalanche C-Chain and Monero mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is AVAX to XMR non-custodial?
Yes. You send AVAX from your wallet and receive XMR directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send AVAX on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Avalanche C-Chain for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
