Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much CELO 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 CELO to the address on your order — after confirmations, XMR is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Deposits on Celo mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only CELO on Celo mainnet to the address on your order page.
- 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.
Celo
Always match CELO on Celo mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Celo mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
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 CELO to XMR?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Celo to Monero swaps.
How long does CELO to XMR take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Celo mainnet and Monero mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is CELO to XMR non-custodial?
Yes. You send CELO from your wallet and receive XMR directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send CELO on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Celo mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
