Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XLM to send and enter your Ripple address on XRP Ledger.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer XLM to the address on your order — after confirmations, XRP 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.
- XRP 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.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
XRP payout delays
If XRP is missing, verify destination tag requirements and that your wallet supports the XRP Ledger mainnet.
When will XRP arrive?
XRP Ledger settlements are among the fastest in crypto — often seconds after your deposit confirms.
- Check whether your receiving wallet requires a destination tag and that you entered it on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet needs a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Use the payout tx hash on an XRP Ledger explorer if your wallet balance has not updated.

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