Swap Avalanche to Monero
Exchange AVAX for XMR straight to your Monero wallet. Account-free standard flow, non-custodial, no registration for standard swaps.
How This Pair Works
Send Avalanche (AVAX) from your own Avalanche C-Chain wallet and receive native Monero at the XMR address you provide. Once your AVAX deposit reaches the required confirmations on Avalanche C-Chain, MoneroEx sources XMR liquidity and delivers it to you — no account for the standard flow.
Why Swap Avalanche to Monero?
Avalanche settles on the public Avalanche C-Chain ledger, where balances and transfers stay visible to anyone. Converting part of your AVAX into Monero adds privacy-focused routing: once funds are XMR, ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT keep amounts and counterparties off the public record.

Step-by-Step Process
- 1
Select AVAX to XMR and enter the amount
Choose Avalanche as the source currency and Monero as the destination, then enter how much AVAX you want to swap. The interface shows the estimated XMR you will receive at the current rate.
- 2
Enter your Monero destination address
Paste your XMR wallet address into the destination field. A standard Monero address starts with 4 and is 95 characters long; verify the full string carefully, as transactions sent to the wrong address cannot be reversed.
- 3
Send AVAX to the deposit address
After you confirm the details, you receive a Avalanche deposit address (a 42-character C-Chain address starting with 0x). Send the exact AVAX amount shown from your own wallet; sending a different amount may affect the rate or require review.
- 4
Receive XMR in your wallet
Once your Avalanche transaction reaches about 1 confirmation(s) on Avalanche C-Chain, MoneroEx executes the swap and sends XMR to your address. Track progress with your unique swap ID.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Checking only the first and last characters of the 95-character XMR address instead of the full string
- Copying the destination address from chat, email, or browser history rather than directly from your Monero wallet
- Sending AVAX from a custodial account that may delay withdrawal or block external Avalanche C-Chain transfers
- Expecting instant settlement and underestimating Avalanche C-Chain confirmation times during network congestion
- Closing the status page before the swap confirms and losing track of the swap ID
