Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XLM to send and enter your Ethereum (Base) address on Base 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.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

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 (Base) swaps.
How long does XLM to ETH take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Stellar mainnet and Base 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.
