Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETH to send and enter your Stellar address on Stellar mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer ETH to the address on your order — after confirmations, XLM is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Ethereum deposits confirm quickly — usually within a few blocks (~12s each).
- During gas spikes, confirmation cost rises but inclusion remains fast.
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet only — not BSC, Base, or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- XLM not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Ethereum — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
Sending ETH to the right network
Use an Ethereum mainnet wallet for deposits. L2 or alternate-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

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