How to convert ETH to XMR

1. Open the swap widget and select ETH to XMR.
2. Paste your receiving wallet address and choose fixed or floating rate.
3. Review quote details, including expected output and network costs.
4. Send the exact amount to the generated one-time deposit address.
5. Track confirmations and receive XMR directly in your wallet when completed.

Fees, confirmations, and timing

Total cost depends on network conditions, quote type, and transfer amount. For best results, send the exact quoted amount inside the quote window and confirm you are on the correct source network for ETH.

In practice, most ETH to XMR swaps settle quickly once confirmations are met, but final timing can still vary with mempool load and network congestion. During high volatility, fixed quotes can expire faster, while floating quotes may return a different final amount than initially shown.

Fixed vs floating quotes

• Fixed: locks a quote window, useful when you need more certainty.
• Floating: executes at market rate when funds arrive, usually with more timing flexibility.

Network-specific considerations

Always confirm that you are sending on the expected network for ETH. A wrong chain selection is the most common reason for failed or delayed payouts. Before sending, compare the source network shown in your wallet with the quote details to avoid address and routing mismatches.

For XMR, use a receiving address you control and double-check format compatibility with your wallet provider or exchange. If your destination platform requires extra routing fields, verify those requirements before creating the order.

Quotes, slippage, and expirations

Quotes reflect live liquidity and market conditions at the moment they are generated. A floating quote offers more flexibility but can move with the market between send time and execution. A fixed quote helps lock certainty, but only within its timer and confirmation window.

If the quote expires, the safest approach is to request a fresh quote instead of guessing the final output. Sending exact amounts and avoiding delays generally improves execution quality for both speed and final payout.

Privacy checklist

• Use fresh receiving addresses where possible.
• Avoid mixing unrelated transfer activity in one wallet label set.
• For larger sizes, split execution across multiple windows.

Refunds and safety

When a refund is required, processing usually depends on order state, chain status, and policy checks. Keep your transaction hash and payout details available so support can validate the transfer quickly if manual review is needed.

For operational safety, start with a small test swap before sending larger amounts. This confirms address accuracy, network selection, and expected completion flow for your ETH to XMR route.

Troubleshooting

• If payout is delayed, verify the deposit transaction confirmations first.
• If you sent a different amount, your order may be recalculated automatically.
• For address or amount issues, contact support and provide the transaction hash.

Explorer checks

Use a blockchain explorer to confirm the source leg status, number of confirmations, and final broadcast details. Explorer verification helps separate wallet UI delays from actual network settlement problems and is often the fastest way to diagnose status in real time.

Worked example

1. You hold ETH in your wallet and want to receive XMR to a fresh receiving address.
2. You generate a quote, verify network details, and send the exact requested amount.
3. After confirmations, payout is executed and your wallet receives the converted XMR.

Large swaps: best practices

• Split larger totals into multiple executions across time windows.
• Run a small validation swap first to confirm end-to-end flow.
• Keep tx hashes and quote details saved until final settlement completes.
