You can swap ETH to Monero (XMR) without an account and without KYC. GhostSwap is a no-KYC, crypto-to-crypto swap: you send Ethereum, you supply an XMR receiving address, and the coins pass through non-custodially — GhostSwap never holds them. No sign-up, no email, no identity verification to swap.
TL;DR: Send ETH, give an XMR address, receive Monero. No account, no KYC, non-custodial pass-through. Typical settle time is around 8 minutes.
How the ETH → XMR swap works
An ETH-to-XMR swap is a cross-chain trade: you move value off Ethereum and receive it on the Monero network. Because the two chains don't share a ledger, the swap routes your ETH into aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets and pays out standard XMR to the address you provide.
The steps are short:
- Pick the pair — ETH in, XMR out, on the ETH to XMR swap page.
- Paste your XMR receiving address — from Cake Wallet, Feather, Monerujo, or any wallet that gives you a standard Monero address.
- Send the ETH — to the deposit address shown. Add a refund address so funds can be returned if a deposit is under/over the quote.
- Receive XMR — settlement is typically ~8 minutes (p50); busy-chain conditions push the p95 toward ~30 minutes.
There's no account to create and no email to confirm. Monero's network has been updated over time, and GhostSwap supports the current protocol — ETH-to-XMR swaps settle to standard XMR addresses as they work today.
Pricing: floating rate, and what the spread means
GhostSwap uses floating-rate pricing drawn from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets. Floating rate means you receive the price at the moment your ETH actually arrives and clears — not the price at the second you clicked. The spread is typically small in normal conditions and widens when the market moves fast or a chain is congested.
That trade-off is deliberate. A floating rate passes the live market price through to you instead of padding a fixed quote to cover volatility. If ETH gaps while your deposit confirms, your XMR amount reflects the market when it settles.

ETH → XMR is available on other no-KYC services too — for example SimpleSwap (retrieved 2026-08-09) and Exolix (retrieved 2026-08-09) both list the pair.
How to swap ETH to XMR, step by step
Use the live swap widget on the homepage or go straight to the ETH to XMR pair page:
- Enter the amount of ETH you want to swap. The quote updates with the live floating rate.
- Paste a standard XMR address. Monero addresses are long — copy-paste, don't type. A wrong address can mean lost funds; there's no account-recovery flow because there's no account.
- Include a refund address so an off-quote deposit can be returned.
- Send the exact ETH amount to the deposit address, then wait. Settlement is typically ~8 minutes.

FAQ
Q: Do I need an account or KYC to swap ETH to XMR?
A: No. There's no account, no email, and no identity verification to swap. You supply an XMR receiving address and a refund address; the ETH passes through non-custodially and is never held by GhostSwap.
Q: How long does an ETH to XMR swap take?
A: Typically around 8 minutes (p50). During heavy Ethereum or Monero network conditions the p95 can reach roughly 30 minutes, because settlement waits on on-chain confirmations.
Q: Why did the XMR amount change from the quote?
A: GhostSwap uses floating-rate pricing. You receive the market price at the moment your ETH arrives and clears, not the moment you clicked. The spread is typically small in normal conditions and wider when the market moves fast.
Q: What wallet do I need to receive Monero?
A: Any wallet that gives you a standard XMR address — Cake Wallet, Feather, and Monerujo are common choices. Paste that address into the swap; don't type it by hand.
