How long does an XMR to LINK swap take?

Most swaps complete within roughly 10 to 60 minutes. The main variables are Monero's confirmation time and settlement on Ethereum (ERC-20); network congestion on either side can extend the total swap time.

Do I need an account to swap XMR to LINK?

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

Is the XMR to LINK swap non-custodial?

Funds are routed only to fulfil your order, and LINK is delivered directly to the Ethereum (ERC-20) address you control. MoneroEx does not hold your balance beyond the duration of the swap.

Will my LINK be private after the swap?

No. Once funds leave Monero, the LINK transaction is recorded on the public Ethereum (ERC-20) 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 LINK?

Yes. A minimum applies so the transaction can cover network fees on both the Monero and Ethereum (ERC-20) networks. The current minimum is shown in the swap interface when you select the XMR to LINK pair.

Swap Monero to Chainlink

Convert XMR to LINK and receive Chainlink 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 Chainlink, enter your LINK wallet address, send Monero to the deposit address shown, and receive LINK once the swap settles on Ethereum (ERC-20). The standard flow needs no account and stays non-custodial by design.

Why Swap Monero to Chainlink?

Converting XMR to Chainlink is common when you need LINK — the leading decentralized oracle token — for payments, on-ramps, or services that do not list Monero directly. MoneroEx delivers LINK without requiring an account for the standard flow.

Privacy Notes

Your incoming Monero benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy, but the outgoing LINK is recorded on the public Ethereum (ERC-20) network and is visible to anyone analysing that chain. MoneroEx cannot control Ethereum (ERC-20) 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 LINK and enter the amount
Choose Monero as the source currency and Chainlink as the destination, then enter how much XMR you want to swap. The interface shows the estimated LINK you will receive at the current rate.
2
Enter your Chainlink destination address
Paste your LINK wallet address into the destination field. A Chainlink address is a 42-character ERC-20 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 LINK in your wallet
Once your Monero deposit reaches about 10 confirmations, MoneroEx executes the swap and sends LINK to your Ethereum (ERC-20) 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

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pasting a LINK address from the wrong network instead of a valid Ethereum (ERC-20) address
Checking only part of the Chainlink address instead of verifying the full string
Copying the destination address from chat or email rather than directly from your Chainlink 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
