Exchange Ethereum (ETH) to Monero (XMR)
Swap ETH to XMR with a straightforward flow: enter the amount, paste your Monero (XMR) receiving address, and send ETH to the deposit address shown in your order. This page explains confirmations, timing, typical fees, and the most common mistakes (like sending ETH from smart contracts).
Live rate chart (XMR/ETH)
The chart shows the live XMR/ETH market. If you’re swapping ETH → XMR, you can think of it as “how much ETH equals 1 XMR”. Your final quote is always shown inside the swap flow before you confirm.
Exchange in 3 steps (ETH → XMR)
What you need to know (confirmations, timing, fees)
- ETH confirmations: many swap flows require a few confirmations before processing (often around 4, but it can vary). Faster confirmation depends on network load and your gas fee.
- Ethereum block time: blocks are typically produced roughly every ~12 seconds, but confirmation speed still depends on fees and congestion.
- Monero privacy: Monero is designed for on-chain privacy using technologies like ring signatures and stealth addresses.
- XMR arrival in wallets: many Monero wallets display incoming transfers after multiple confirmations; a common expectation is about ~10 confirmations (~20 minutes) depending on network conditions.
- Network fees: you pay (1) the Ethereum network fee when sending ETH and (2) Monero network fee when XMR is sent. Fees vary by network load; they’re usually shown in the swap flow before you confirm.
Common issues and how to fix them
- “I sent ETH but nothing happens”: check your transaction hash in a block explorer and confirm it’s not a contract-based send. If it is, processing may require manual handling.
- “XMR not visible yet”: Monero wallets can show transactions with a delay if the wallet is still syncing. Restarting the wallet or waiting for full sync often helps.
- “Wrong address”: always copy/paste the full XMR address and verify the first/last characters before confirming.
Rate comparison checklist (what to compare)
Rates change nonstop. The only “real” number for your swap is the quote shown in the swap flow before you confirm. Use this as a practical checklist so you get a fair, predictable result.
| What to compare | Why it matters | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Final ETH→XMR quote | Determines how much XMR you receive | Final amount before confirm |
| Total fees | Fees reduce final received amount | ETH gas + XMR network fee |
| Confirmation requirements | Impacts how fast your swap starts | ETH confirmations required |
| Wallet readiness | Monero wallets need sync | Wallet fully synced, correct address |
