Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XLM to send and enter your Ethereum address on Ethereum 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, ETH 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.
- ETH 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.
Ethereum — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
What if my ETH hasn't arrived?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
How fast is the ETH payout?
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
Receiving ETH on the correct network
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap XLM to ETH?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Stellar to Ethereum swaps.
How long does XLM to ETH take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Stellar mainnet and Ethereum mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is XLM to ETH non-custodial?
Yes. You send XLM from your wallet and receive ETH 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.
