Swap Ethereum to Monero
Exchange ETH for XMR with no account required for standard transactions. Non-custodial and direct to your wallet.
How This Pair Works
When you initiate an ETH to XMR swap, MoneroEx provides an Ethereum deposit address. You send ETH to that address from your own wallet. After the required Ethereum network confirmations, MoneroEx executes the exchange and sends XMR to the Monero address you specified. The process requires no account registration for standard swap amounts.
Why Swap Ethereum to Monero?
Ethereum is a public blockchain. Every transaction on the Ethereum network — including token transfers, smart contract interactions, and wallet balances — is permanently visible. Users who wish to move value out of the publicly visible Ethereum ecosystem may choose to convert ETH to Monero, which applies privacy protections at the protocol level to all subsequent transactions.

Step-by-Step Process
- 1
Select ETH to XMR and enter the amount
Choose Ethereum as your source currency and Monero as your destination. Enter the ETH amount you wish to convert. The estimated XMR output will be displayed based on the current rate.
- 2
Provide your Monero destination address
Enter the full XMR wallet address where you want to receive Monero. Verify every character of the address before proceeding. Monero addresses cannot be recovered if funds are sent to an incorrect address.
- 3
Send ETH to the deposit address
You will receive an Ethereum deposit address. Send the quoted ETH amount from your own Ethereum wallet. Ensure you include sufficient gas to cover the Ethereum network fee for the transfer.
- 4
Receive XMR in your Monero wallet
After the required Ethereum network confirmations, the swap will execute and XMR will be sent to your destination address. Monitor progress using your swap ID.
MoneroEx vs. Centralized Exchanges

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending ETH from a smart contract wallet without verifying compatibility with the deposit address
- Not accounting for the Ethereum gas fee when calculating the total ETH to have available
- Copying the XMR destination address from an unverified source instead of directly from the wallet application
- Losing the swap ID before the transaction is confirmed
- Expecting Ethereum confirmation times similar to faster-finality chains
