It is used to fund an Ethereum wallet for apps, NFTs or token swaps, where every action needs ETH for gas. Stellar and Ethereum use unrelated address formats, and no bridge or wrapped token is involved: you receive real ETH at your own 0x address, with no account. Stellar settles the deposit within seconds and the ETH payout takes about 2 to 5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, so most swaps finish in 5 to 15 minutes. Because the payout is ETH itself, the receiving wallet can pay gas in Ethereum apps straight away, with no second coin to top up. ### Tips - Paste an Ethereum address, 0x followed by 40 hex characters. ETH is paid on mainnet only; ETH on Base or Arbitrum are separate receive coins in the exchange box. - A Ledger can hold both coins, but in separate Stellar and Ethereum accounts with different addresses. Copy the Ethereum one for the payout and the Stellar one as the refund address. - Include the Memo ID in your XLM payment whenever the deposit screen shows one; the ETH payout itself needs no memo. ### Can I swap XLM to ETH without an account? Yes. GhostSwap needs no account, email or ID for a standard swap. Choose XLM and ETH, paste your 0x address, check the floating rate and send the XLM. ### Will the ETH show up as WETH or a bridged token? No. You receive native ETH, shown as the main ETH balance in MetaMask or Rabby, not a wrapped or bridged asset. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap XLM to ETH on GhostSwap? Most XLM to ETH swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your XLM deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Stellar; after that the ETH is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much ETH do I get for 10,000 XLM? At 2 Oct 2026, 05:45 UTC, 10,000 XLM swapped to about 0.806815 ETH on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the ETH 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 XLM to ETH? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Ethereum address that should receive the ETH, send XLM from your own wallet, and the ETH goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Stellar to Ethereum? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ETH amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Stellar network fee for your deposit is paid in XLM by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive ETH? To receive Ethereum from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rainbow Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ETH address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the ETH address? Use a Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my XLM to ETH 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 XLM payment on StellarExpert (https://stellar.expert) and your incoming ETH on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io). ### Is it safe to exchange XLM for ETH on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your XLM deposit is converted and the ETH is sent straight to the Ethereum address you enter, so check that address twice — Ethereum transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain XLM to ETH swap work? Stellar lives on Stellar and Ethereum on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XLM on Stellar and pays native ETH on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my XLM to ETH exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the XLM is refunded to the Stellar 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. ## Related - [Reverse: ETH to XLM](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/eth-xlm/) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
