Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XLM to send and enter your Celo address on Celo mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer XLM to the address on your order — after confirmations, CELO is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
- A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
- Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
- CELO not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
Sending XLM on Stellar
Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.
If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.
Celo
Always match CELO on Celo mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving CELO
Your wallet must be on Celo mainnet.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.

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