Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much OP 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 OP to the address on your order — after confirmations, XMR is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Optimism confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send OP on Optimism mainnet only — not Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Optimism-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas if sending ERC-20 tokens.
- 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.
Optimism — Ethereum L2 with low fees
OP is the governance token of Optimism — an Ethereum rollup with fast, low-cost transfers and deep Superchain liquidity.
OP on Optimism mainnet
Use an Optimism wallet for deposits. L1 Ethereum or other L2 sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas when moving OP or other tokens.
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 OP to XMR?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Optimism to Monero swaps.
How long does OP to XMR take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Optimism mainnet and Monero mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is OP to XMR non-custodial?
Yes. You send OP from your wallet and receive XMR directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send OP on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Optimism mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
