How long does an XMR to ETH swap take?

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

Do I need an account to swap XMR to ETH?

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

Is the XMR to ETH swap non-custodial?

Funds are routed only to fulfil your order, and ETH is delivered directly to the Ethereum address you control. MoneroEx does not hold your balance beyond the duration of the swap.

Will my ETH be private after the swap?

No. Once funds leave Monero, the ETH transaction is recorded on the public Ethereum 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 ETH?

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

Swap Monero to Ethereum

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

How This Pair Works

To convert XMR into Ethereum, enter your ETH wallet address, send Monero to the deposit address shown, and receive ETH once the swap settles on Ethereum. The standard flow needs no account and stays non-custodial by design.

Why Swap Monero to Ethereum?

Converting XMR to Ethereum is common when you need ETH — the largest smart-contract platform — for payments, on-ramps, or services that do not list Monero directly. MoneroEx delivers ETH without requiring an account for the standard flow.

Privacy Notes

Your incoming Monero benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy, but the outgoing ETH is recorded on the public Ethereum network and is visible to anyone analysing that chain. MoneroEx cannot control Ethereum 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 ETH and enter the amount
Choose Monero as the source currency and Ethereum as the destination, then enter how much XMR you want to swap. The interface shows the estimated ETH you will receive at the current rate.
2
Enter your Ethereum destination address
Paste your ETH wallet address into the destination field. A Ethereum address is a 42-character 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 ETH in your wallet
Once your Monero deposit reaches about 10 confirmations, MoneroEx executes the swap and sends ETH to your Ethereum address. Track progress with your unique swap ID.

MoneroEx vs. Centralized Exchanges

Feature	Centralized Exchange	MoneroEx
Registration	Account required	No account required for standard swaps
KYC	Identity verification required	Not required for standard swaps; may apply in limited risk cases
Privacy	Transaction data linked to identity	Minimal data collection; destination address only
Custody	Exchange holds your funds	Non-custodial; funds not held beyond swap duration
Flow	Ongoing account relationship	Single-use, account-free standard flow

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pasting a ETH address from the wrong network instead of a valid Ethereum address
Checking only part of the Ethereum address instead of verifying the full string
Copying the destination address from chat or email rather than directly from your Ethereum 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
