Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETH 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 ETH to the address on your order — after confirmations, XMR 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.
- 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.
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.
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 ETH to XMR?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Ethereum to Monero swaps.
How long does ETH to XMR take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Ethereum mainnet and Monero mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is ETH to XMR non-custodial?
Yes. You send ETH from your wallet and receive XMR 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.
