Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XRP 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 XRP to the address on your order — after confirmations, ETH is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- XRP Ledger confirmations are typically very fast — often seconds.
- If your receiving account requires a destination tag, enter it exactly on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance to activate the account.
- 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.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
Destination tags on XRP
Exchanges and custodial wallets often require a destination tag — missing tags delay or complicate crediting.
Self-custody addresses may not need a tag; check what your wallet provider expects.
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 XRP to ETH?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Ripple to Ethereum (Base) swaps.
How long does XRP to ETH take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on XRP Ledger and Base mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is XRP to ETH non-custodial?
Yes. You send XRP from your wallet and receive ETH directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send XRP on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (XRP Ledger for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
