## XMR to THETA: what arrives on Theta mainnet and how to move it

XMR to THETA takes coins from Monero, where balances and transfers are hidden, to Theta Network, where every address, balance and stake can be looked up on Theta Explorer. THETA is the coin Theta uses for staking and governance; the network was built for video delivery and now also runs EdgeCloud, a GPU computing service for AI and video work. The payout is native THETA on Theta mainnet, not an ERC20 token, and no sign-up is needed.

The Monero side sets the pace: Monero blocks arrive about every 2 minutes, and the deposit is usually credited after about 20 minutes. The THETA payout then shows up at your Theta address shortly after it is sent. If your wallet has not refreshed yet, look up the address on Theta Explorer to see the payout.

### Tips

- Paste the 0x address from Theta Wallet or another wallet that supports Theta mainnet. The format is the same as an Ethereum address, but a wallet that only follows Ethereum will not list coins held on Theta.
- Every Theta transaction, including moving or staking THETA, pays its fee in TFUEL. If your Theta address has no TFUEL yet, XMR to TFUEL is a separate pair on GhostSwap, and both coins can be paid to the same address.
- Monero locks newly received coins for 10 blocks, about 20 minutes. If part of your XMR balance shows as locked, wait for it to unlock before sending the deposit, and enter your own Monero address as the refund address.

### Can I swap Monero for THETA without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap has no account, email or ID step. Paste your Theta address, add your Monero refund address and send the XMR; the THETA is paid straight to your wallet.

### Can I stake the THETA I receive?

Yes, once it is in a wallet that supports Theta staking, such as Theta Wallet. Delegating to a guardian node is a Theta transaction, so keep a little TFUEL at the same address for the fee. Guardian delegation has its own minimum set by Theta, and staking rewards are paid in TFUEL.

## FAQ

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

Most XMR to THETA swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the XMR deposit needs about 20 minutes (10 confirmations) to confirm on Monero, then the THETA is sent to your wallet, and Theta Network confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much THETA do I get for 5 XMR?

At 8 Oct 2026, 06:42 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 12,819.27 THETA on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the THETA network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

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

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the THETA amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Monero network fee for your deposit is paid in XMR by your wallet.

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

To receive THETA from your swap, we recommend using Theta Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Theta Network network before starting the exchange. Double-check your THETA address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the THETA address?

Use a Theta Network 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 XMR to THETA 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 incoming THETA on Theta Explorer (https://explorer.thetatoken.org).

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

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

### Will my THETA be linked to my XMR?

Monero is private by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT hide the sender, the receiver and the amount of every transaction. The source of your funds is already protected. The THETA you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Theta Network blockchain with no visible connection to your XMR holdings. GhostSwap requires no KYC, so there's no account linking the two.

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

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the XMR is refunded to the Monero 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.
