# Ethereum to Monero (ETH to XMR) — no-KYC swap on GhostSwap

> Send Ethereum (ETH) 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 ETH history. Most ETH to XMR swaps finish in 10–25 minutes.

## Ethereum to Monero: what to know before you swap

ETH to XMR moves funds from Ethereum, where every wallet, token balance and contract interaction is public on Etherscan, into Monero, where transactions are private by default. It is a common route for people who earned or traded on Ethereum and want to hold part of it privately, with no account and no ID upload.

Ethereum blocks arrive every 12 seconds, so an ETH deposit is usually confirmed quickly. Make sure you send native ETH on the Ethereum network (not ETH on a layer-2 or another chain) unless you picked that network in the exchange box.

### Tips

- Keep a little extra ETH in your wallet for the gas fee of the deposit transaction.
- Monero addresses are 95 characters long and start with 4 (standard) or 8 (subaddress). Paste the address; never type it by hand.
- Want to swap a token instead? Pick the token itself (for example USDT ERC20) as the coin you send rather than converting it to ETH first.

### Can I swap ETH to XMR without an account?

Yes. There is no sign-up: choose ETH and XMR, paste your Monero address and send the ETH deposit.

### Do I need a memo or payment ID for the XMR payout?

No. Normal Monero wallets need no payment ID; use a standard address or a subaddress.

## FAQ

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

Most ETH to XMR swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your ETH deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the XMR is sent to your wallet and Monero confirms it in about 20 minutes (10 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much XMR do I get for 1 ETH?

At 1 Oct 2026, 19:06 UTC, 1 ETH swapped to about 4.8593 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 ETH to XMR?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Monero address that should receive the XMR, send ETH 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 Ethereum 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, the Ethereum network fee for your deposit is paid in ETH by your wallet.

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

To receive Monero from your swap, we recommend using the official Monero GUI/CLI wallet, Cake Wallet, or Feather Wallet. Note: MetaMask does 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 ETH 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 ETH payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming XMR on XMRChain (limited info due to Monero's privacy features) (https://xmrchain.net).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ETH 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 ETH to XMR swap be traced?

Your ETH transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum (ERC-20) blockchain since Ethereum is transparent — every transaction and wallet balance is visible on Etherscan. However, once your XMR arrives in your wallet, Monero is fully private — ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT make every transaction untraceable by default. By swapping ETH to XMR on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

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

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the ETH 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.
