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