How long does an XMR to AVAX swap take?

Most swaps complete within roughly 10 to 60 minutes. The main variables are Monero's confirmation time and settlement on Avalanche C-Chain; network congestion on either side can extend the total swap time.

Do I need an account to swap XMR to AVAX?

No. Standard XMR to AVAX swaps use an account-free flow with minimal data collection. Verification may be required only in limited risk cases.

Is the XMR to AVAX swap non-custodial?

Funds are routed only to fulfil your order, and AVAX is delivered directly to the Avalanche C-Chain address you control. MoneroEx does not hold your balance beyond the duration of the swap.

Will my AVAX be private after the swap?

No. Once funds leave Monero, the AVAX transaction is recorded on the public Avalanche C-Chain ledger and is visible to anyone. Only the Monero side benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy.

Is there a minimum amount for XMR to AVAX?

Yes. A minimum applies so the transaction can cover network fees on both the Monero and Avalanche C-Chain networks. The current minimum is shown in the swap interface when you select the XMR to AVAX pair.

Swap Monero to Avalanche

Convert XMR to AVAX and receive Avalanche in your own wallet. Account-free standard flow, non-custodial, verification may be required in limited risk cases.

How This Pair Works

Swapping Monero to Avalanche sends native XMR from your wallet and delivers AVAX on the Avalanche C-Chain network. Provide your AVAX destination address, deposit Monero, and MoneroEx completes the exchange after the required confirmations — account-free for the standard flow.

Why Swap Monero to Avalanche?

Moving Monero into Avalanche lets you reach Avalanche C-Chain liquidity, trading pairs, or spending options that XMR alone may not cover. The swap is delivered directly to your AVAX wallet and stays account-free for standard amounts.

Privacy Notes

Your incoming Monero benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy, but the outgoing AVAX is recorded on the public Avalanche C-Chain network and is visible to anyone analysing that chain. MoneroEx cannot control Avalanche C-Chain transparency. Only the data necessary to process the swap is collected, and verification may be required in limited risk cases.

Step-by-Step Process

1
Select XMR to AVAX and enter the amount
Choose Monero as the source currency and Avalanche as the destination, then enter how much XMR you want to swap. The interface shows the estimated AVAX you will receive at the current rate.
2
Enter your Avalanche destination address
Paste your AVAX wallet address into the destination field. A Avalanche address is a 42-character C-Chain address starting with 0x; verify the full string carefully, as transactions cannot be reversed once sent.
3
Send XMR to the deposit address
After you confirm the details, you receive a Monero deposit address. Send the exact XMR amount shown from your own wallet; sending a different amount may affect the rate or require review.
4
Receive AVAX in your wallet
Once your Monero deposit reaches about 10 confirmations, MoneroEx executes the swap and sends AVAX to your Avalanche C-Chain address. Track progress with your unique swap ID.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pasting a AVAX address from the wrong network instead of a valid Avalanche C-Chain address
Checking only part of the Avalanche address instead of verifying the full string
Copying the destination address from chat or email rather than directly from your Avalanche wallet
Sending an amount different from the quoted XMR, which may change the rate or trigger manual review
Closing the status page before the swap confirms and losing track of the swap ID
