Swap Chainlink to Monero
Exchange LINK for XMR straight to your Monero wallet. Account-free standard flow, non-custodial, no registration for standard swaps.
How This Pair Works
To swap Chainlink for Monero, paste your XMR destination address, send LINK to the deposit address shown, and MoneroEx completes the LINK-to-XMR exchange after roughly 12 Ethereum (ERC-20) confirmation(s). The standard flow stays account-free and non-custodial.
Why Swap Chainlink to Monero?
Every LINK transaction is permanently recorded on Ethereum (ERC-20) and open to blockchain-analytics firms. Moving Chainlink into Monero may help reduce that public exposure, because Monero conceals amounts and addresses at the protocol level rather than as an optional add-on.

Step-by-Step Process
- 1
Select LINK to XMR and enter the amount
Choose Chainlink as the source currency and Monero as the destination, then enter how much LINK 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 LINK to the deposit address
After you confirm the details, you receive a Chainlink deposit address (a 42-character ERC-20 address starting with 0x). Send the exact LINK 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 Chainlink transaction reaches about 12 confirmation(s) on Ethereum (ERC-20), 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 LINK from a custodial account that may delay withdrawal or block external Ethereum (ERC-20) transfers
- Expecting instant settlement and underestimating Ethereum (ERC-20) confirmation times during network congestion
- Closing the status page before the swap confirms and losing track of the swap ID
