Swap ETH to XMR: Ethereum to Monero exchange
Ethereum addresses accumulate a permanent, publicly searchable history of every token, contract and counterparty they touch. This route ends that trail.
Swapping Ethereum (ETH) to Monero (XMR)
An Ethereum address is a persistent public identity. Unlike Bitcoin, where a new address per payment is normal practice, ETH balances tend to accumulate at one address that also signs every contract interaction, holds every token and receives every airdrop — a single handle tying years of activity together. Anyone who learns it once can read the whole history, forwards and backwards.
Monero has no equivalent handle to leak. Amounts and counterparties are hidden by default and there is no account balance for a block explorer to display. Expect the transfer to feel unfamiliar in one respect: there is no gas market to time, so the fee is small and steady rather than swinging with network demand. Send to a Monero wallet you hold the keys for, since exchange support for the asset has been shrinking.
Two groups run this route regularly. One is people winding down an Ethereum address that has accumulated years of visible activity and who do not want the closing balance to stay attached to it. The other is anyone who has been paid on-chain by a party they would rather could not watch the money afterwards, which an ETH transfer to a known address makes trivially easy. An anonymous ETH to XMR swap ends the public history an Ethereum address carries: you swap ETH to XMR, no KYC, and what arrives has no visible past.

Those are reference figures, not offers; the widget above is the live calculator for any amount. When you request this swap we compare live rates across several independent liquidity partners and show the best receive amount, which is what the order is created with. The partner's spread, our commission and the fee for delivering XMR to your wallet are already inside it — see fees and how the comparison works.
Convert ETH to XMR: conversion rate and estimated amount
To convert ETH to XMR, enter the exchange amount in the widget. The XMR converter tool then shows the estimated amount you will receive. That figure is the ETH to XMR conversion rate from the best of our partners at that moment, with every fee already taken off. It is a receive amount, not a mid-market price. The widget doubles as a ETH to XMR exchange and price calculator: change the amount and the ETH to XMR conversion updates with it, with no order created.
The rate moves with market conditions across the cryptocurrency market, so the estimated amount is only current until you confirm. At that point it is priced once more, and the order is created at the rate you were shown. Converting Ethereum costs nothing beyond that figure except one thing: the Ethereum transaction fee your own wallet pays to send the deposit. On some chains those are called gas fees. They depend on network conditions, not on us.
The exchange process has one manual step, which is sending the deposit. Everything after it is automatic. Once the exchange is completed, the XMR is in your wallet and the swap's data is purged. If something looks wrong before then — a deposit below the minimum, a transfer on the wrong network — the support team can be reached with your swap link. The refund address you set is where funds return.
ETH to XMR minimum amount, network fee and exchange rate
- Minimum amount
- The live minimum amount of ETH for this pair is shown in the widget before you confirm. It moves with network conditions rather than being a fixed figure, and there is no maximum.
- Network fee
- The fee for delivering XMR to your wallet is already inside the receive amount. The one cost outside the quote is the Ethereum network fee your own wallet pays to broadcast the deposit.
- Exchange rate
- The ETH to XMR exchange rate is compared in real time across several partners when you enter the amount, and re-priced server-side the moment you confirm, so the rate you see is the rate the order is created with.
- Confirmations
- The exchange runs once the ETH deposit has the network confirmations the partner requires, and Ethereum produces a block every ~12 sec. How many it waits for depends on the amount, so the tracking page shows the live count.
Instant ETH to XMR swaps
Every ETH to XMR swap is processed automatically as soon as the required blockchain confirmations land — no manual approval, no review queue, no waiting period we impose. Exchange Ethereum to Monero here and there is no account step either, so your Monero leaves for your wallet as fast as network conditions allow.
Before you send
- Set a refund address. It is where funds go back to automatically if the swap cannot complete. Without one a refund is still possible, but you have to contact support with your swap link and a return address first — see refund handling.
What we can and can't see
This swap needs no account, no email and no identity document, because there is no mechanism here to collect them. What is stored is the amount, the destination address and the refund address — the minimum needed to execute and, if necessary, reverse the exchange — and it is purged once the swap finalizes.
Private mode routes the exchange so that no single party sees both ends of it, at the cost of slightly more spread and one extra settlement hop. The full architecture, and what it deliberately does not promise, is on the privacy page.
How to exchange ETH for XMR
- 01Pick the pair and amount
Set how much ETH you want to exchange. The widget quotes live across our partners and shows the best XMR receive amount.
- 02Give two addresses
Your XMR destination address, and a ETH refund address in case the swap cannot complete. No account, no email, no identity check.
- 03Send the deposit
Transfer the ETH from your own wallet to the address shown. Nothing is held on your behalf — it is forwarded on arrival.
- 04Receive your coins
Once the deposit confirms, the exchange executes and the XMR is sent to your address. Follow it the whole way on the tracking page.
ETH to XMR — frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to swap ETH for XMR?
No. There is no registration, no email and no identity check anywhere in the flow. You provide a destination address and a refund address, send the deposit from your own wallet, and the funds are forwarded to you.
Will my Ethereum address show where the funds went?
It will show a transfer to the deposit address we give you and nothing beyond it. The Monero side produces no public record that can be joined to it. Bear in mind the deposit transaction is permanent on Ethereum, so anyone watching that address learns the amount and the timing even though they cannot follow it further.
Can I send from a hardware wallet or a smart-contract wallet?
A hardware wallet is fine and is the better option. A smart-contract wallet is usually fine too, but the deposit must arrive as a plain ETH transfer — some contract wallets batch or route transfers in ways that make the sender hard to match to an order. If in doubt, send from an ordinary externally owned account.
What is the minimum ETH amount?
It moves with network conditions, so the widget shows the live minimum for this pair before you confirm rather than quoting a fixed figure. Minimums exist so on-chain costs stay a small fraction of the swap instead of swallowing it. There is no maximum.
What happens if the swap fails?
It is refunded to the return address you set before confirming — that address is the whole mechanism, which is why it is asked for up front. Deposits below the minimum, deposits that arrive after the quote window closes, and routes that stall are all handled the same way.
How long does a ETH to XMR swap take?
Mostly the time the Ethereum network takes to confirm your deposit. The exchange runs automatically once the deposit has the confirmations the partner requires, and the XMR payout follows within minutes of that. The time depends on network conditions and on the amount. Larger deposits wait for more confirmations, and Ethereum produces a block roughly every ~12 sec. The tracking page shows the live confirmation count.
