# Optimism to Monero (OP to XMR): no-KYC swap on GhostSwap

> Send Optimism (OP, a token on OP Mainnet) 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 OP history. Most OP to XMR swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes.

## FAQ

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

Most OP to XMR swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, 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.

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

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Monero address that should receive the XMR, send OP 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 Optimism 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 on OP Mainnet to pay the OP Mainnet network fee for sending OP.

### 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 OP 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 OP payment on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io).

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

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

Your OP transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the OP Mainnet (Ethereum layer 2) blockchain since Optimism is transparent: transactions are public on Optimistic 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 OP to XMR on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

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

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the OP is refunded to the OP Mainnet 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.
