# ApeCoin to Monero (APE to XMR) — no-KYC swap on GhostSwap

> Send ApeCoin (APE, an ERC-20 token on Ethereum) and receive Monero (XMR) in your own wallet, with no account and no KYC. Monero hides the sender, receiver and amount of every transfer, so the XMR you receive has no public link to your APE history. Most APE to XMR swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap APE to XMR on GhostSwap?

Most APE to XMR swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the APE deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the XMR is sent to your wallet, and Monero confirms the payout in about 20 minutes (10 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much XMR do I get for 10,000 APE?

At 2 Oct 2026, 21:56 UTC, 10,000 APE swapped to about 2.9974 XMR on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the XMR network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange APE to XMR?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Monero address that should receive the XMR, send APE from your own wallet, and the XMR goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting ApeCoin to Monero?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the XMR amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending APE.

### What wallet should I use to receive XMR?

To receive Monero from your swap, we recommend using Feather, Cake Wallet or Monero GUI. MetaMask and other Ethereum wallets do not support Monero. Make sure your wallet supports the Monero network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XMR address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the XMR address?

Use a Monero address: it is 95 characters and starts with 4 (standard) or 8 (subaddress). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my APE to XMR swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your APE payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange APE for XMR on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your APE deposit is converted and the XMR is sent straight to the Monero address you enter, so check that address twice — Monero transfers cannot be reversed.

### Can my APE to XMR swap be traced?

Your APE transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum (ERC-20) blockchain since ApeCoin is transparent — token balances and transfers are public on Etherscan. However, once your XMR arrives in your wallet, Monero is private by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT hide the sender, the receiver and the amount of every transaction. By swapping APE to XMR on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

### How does a cross-chain APE to XMR swap work?

ApeCoin lives on Ethereum and Monero on Monero, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your APE on Ethereum and pays native XMR on Monero, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my APE to XMR exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the APE is refunded to the Ethereum address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
