Swapping Ethereum (ETH) to Monero (XMR) moves value from a fully transparent chain to a private one. On Ethereum every balance and transfer is public on-chain; Monero hides the sender, receiver, and amount by default. A no-KYC swap converts ETH to XMR wallet-to-wallet, without an account, so the transparent-chain trail stops at the swap.
TL;DR: You can swap ETH to XMR with no account and no KYC — send ETH to a one-time deposit address, receive XMR at your wallet, typically in about 8 minutes, non-custodial the whole way.
Why swap ETH to Monero
Ethereum is a transparent ledger. Anyone with your address can read your full balance and transaction history, and chain-analysis tooling can cluster addresses back to a single owner. Monero is different: it uses ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential amounts so the sender, receiver, and amount are hidden by default (see the Monero documentation, retrieved 2026-08-19).
Converting ETH to XMR breaks the on-chain link between your transparent Ethereum activity and what you hold afterward. GhostSwap does this as a non-custodial pass-through — funds route through, they are never held. There is no account, no email, and no identity verification for the swap.
How to swap ETH to XMR without KYC
- Pick the pair and enter amounts — GhostSwap lists 1,600+ pairs. Choose ETH as the coin you send and XMR as the coin you receive, then enter how much ETH you want to swap.
- Add your Monero receiving address — paste the XMR address from your wallet (Cake Wallet, Feather, or Monerujo all work). You also supply an ETH refund address in case a swap can't complete.
- Send ETH to the deposit address — the widget shows a one-time deposit address. Send your ETH from any wallet. No sign-up, no email, no identity verification is required to swap.
- Receive XMR — once your ETH deposit confirms, the swap routes and XMR lands at your address. Median completion is around 8 minutes; slower chain conditions can push it toward 30 minutes.

Floating rate means you settle at the market rate when your ETH deposit actually arrives and routes — not the rate at the moment you clicked. That price sits within the quoted spread from aggregated liquidity across leading crypto markets.
FAQ
Q: Do I need an account to swap ETH to XMR?
A: No. GhostSwap requires no account, no email, and no identity verification to swap. You supply a Monero receiving address and an ETH refund address; funds pass through non-custodially and are never held by GhostSwap.
Q: How long does an ETH to XMR swap take?
A: Median completion is about 8 minutes. It varies with Ethereum and Monero network conditions, and can extend toward 30 minutes during congestion.
Q: Is swapping ETH to Monero non-custodial?
A: Yes. Your ETH routes through as a pass-through and is converted to XMR sent directly to your wallet. GhostSwap does not hold your funds at any step.
