A Monero exchange that requires no account lets you swap into or out of XMR by sending coins from your own wallet to a one-time deposit address and receiving the output at an address you control. There is no signup, no email, and no identity verification — the swap is a non-custodial pass-through, not a balance held on your behalf.
TL;DR: Swap BTC, ETH, USDT and other assets to or from Monero (XMR) on GhostSwap with no account and no KYC. Funds pass through non-custodially; typical completion is under 10 minutes.
A no-KYC Monero swap is a crypto-to-crypto exchange that converts XMR without an account. Unlike an order-book exchange that holds a balance, it routes coins wallet to wallet and never custodies your funds.
How a no-KYC Monero swap works
A Monero swap on GhostSwap is a non-custodial pass-through. You send the input coin from your own wallet to a deposit address generated for that one swap, and the matched XMR (or, in the reverse direction, the coin you asked for) lands at the receiving address you supplied.
GhostSwap never holds your funds and opens no account in your name. There is no email, no signup, and no identity verification to start a swap. You provide a receiving address and a refund address; that is the entire account surface.
Pricing is floating-rate, drawn from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets. The rate that settles is the rate at the moment your coins arrive and are matched — not the moment you clicked — which is what "floating rate" means in practice.
Swap to or from Monero in 6 steps
- Get your XMR receiving address — open your Monero wallet (Cake Wallet, Feather, or Monerujo) and copy the address from the Receive tab. For swaps out of XMR, copy the receiving address for the coin you want instead.
- Open the swap form — go to the GhostSwap homepage swap widget and pick your input coin and XMR as the output (or reverse the direction).
- Add a refund address — paste an address on the input coin's network so funds can be returned if a swap can't complete.
- Copy the deposit address — the form generates a one-time deposit address for this swap.
- Send from your wallet — send the exact input amount from your own wallet to that deposit address.
- Wait for settlement — typical completion is around 8 minutes (p50), with most swaps finishing inside 30 minutes (p95) depending on chain congestion.

When a no-KYC swap fits
Use the swap when you already hold a coin and want XMR (or want to move out of XMR into another asset) and you control both the sending and receiving wallets. You keep custody at every step except the brief moment funds pass through the deposit address to settle.
