How long does an XMR to SOL swap take?

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

Do I need an account to swap XMR to SOL?

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

Is the XMR to SOL swap non-custodial?

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

Will my SOL be private after the swap?

No. Once funds leave Monero, the SOL transaction is recorded on the public Solana 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 SOL?

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

Swap Monero to Solana

Convert XMR to SOL and receive Solana 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 Solana, enter your SOL wallet address, send Monero to the deposit address shown, and receive SOL once the swap settles on Solana. The standard flow needs no account and stays non-custodial by design.

Why Swap Monero to Solana?

Converting XMR to Solana is common when you need SOL — a high-throughput, low-fee layer-1 — for payments, on-ramps, or services that do not list Monero directly. MoneroEx delivers SOL without requiring an account for the standard flow.

Privacy Notes

Your incoming Monero benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy, but the outgoing SOL is recorded on the public Solana network and is visible to anyone analysing that chain. MoneroEx cannot control Solana 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 SOL and enter the amount
Choose Monero as the source currency and Solana as the destination, then enter how much XMR you want to swap. The interface shows the estimated SOL you will receive at the current rate.
2
Enter your Solana destination address
Paste your SOL wallet address into the destination field. A Solana address is 32–44 base58 characters; 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 SOL in your wallet
Once your Monero deposit reaches about 10 confirmations, MoneroEx executes the swap and sends SOL to your Solana address. Track progress with your unique swap ID.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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