TRX to XRP: Swap Tron for Native XRP, No KYC

Tron and the XRP Ledger are both built for cheap, quick payments, but they charge for them in different ways. On Tron a plain TRX transfer uses bandwidth, which every active account gets free each day; once that is used up, the network burns TRX. On the XRP Ledger every transaction destroys a tiny amount of XRP, and each account must keep a minimum reserve of XRP that it cannot spend.

People move from TRX to XRP for practical reasons: a payment service or exchange that takes XRP, a Ledger device already set up for XRP, or simply a wish to hold XRP rather than TRX. The swap does that without a third chain, a bridge or an account.

The rate comes from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets and floats until the TRX deposit confirms. The box shows the XRP after fees before you send, so you see the result before any coins move.

An XRP Ledger address starts with a lowercase r and is made of base58 characters. Copy it from Xaman or Ledger Live. Some wallets and exchanges also show an X-address, a longer format that packs the address and a tag together. The payout field takes only the classic r address, so if you see an X-address, look in the wallet for the r version.

A brand-new r address does not exist on the ledger until it receives enough XRP to meet the reserve. The swap payout handles that in one step, since normal swap amounts are above the reserve. After it lands, the reserve part of the balance stays locked while the account exists, so the spendable XRP in Xaman is a little lower than the total.

The XRP Ledger settles the payout in a few seconds. XRPSCAN shows the payment and the account's balance.

A Destination Tag is a number attached to an XRP payment. Exchanges use it to tell which customer a deposit belongs to, because many customers share one r address. Personal wallets have an address of their own, so they need no tag.

For this swap the rule is simple. If the payout goes to Xaman, a Ledger or any wallet where you hold the keys, leave the tag field empty. If it goes to an exchange account, copy the numeric tag the exchange shows next to its XRP deposit address and enter it exactly. Without it, the exchange receives the XRP but may not know whose it is.

The sending side has nothing like this. The TRX deposit needs only the T address shown on the deposit page, and you send to it like any other Tron transfer.

Both networks activate a new address with their native coin. A Tron address becomes active when it first receives TRX, and an XRP address when it first receives at least the reserve. That is why you can swap into a fresh r address without funding it first. The other row that matters is the tag. It has no counterpart on the Tron side, and leaving it empty is correct for a personal wallet. Once the TRX deposit confirms, most swaps finish within minutes.

The deposit must be TRX, the native coin of Tron. TronLink and Trust Wallet list TRC-20 tokens such as USDT on the same T address, and it is easy to choose the wrong one in the send menu. A USDT TRC20 deposit does not belong to this pair. If USDT on Tron is what you hold, use USDT TRC20 to XRP instead.

Keep a little TRX back. A plain transfer uses free bandwidth when there is some left and burns TRX when there is not, and the wallet takes that on top of the amount. The deposit confirms on Tron in about a minute, and Tronscan shows it under your address.

Enter the T address you send from in the refund field. If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered. For a status that stops moving, write to support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID.
