Swap Ethereum to Monero. No account, no KYC.
CoinVast swaps ETH to XMR in one payment: paste a Monero address, send Ethereum, and after 12 confirmations, about 3 minutes, we screen the deposit, exchange it at a 0.5% floating or 1.0% fixed spread, and send Monero to your wallet.

Ethereum is the most surveilled place in crypto, and not by accident. Every swap, every mint, every airdrop claim you ever made is public, indexed, and readable by anyone with a block explorer. Whole companies exist to label Ethereum addresses with names. If you have used DeFi with a wallet that ever touched a KYC exchange, your on-chain life has a face attached.
That is the price of programmability, and for trading it is mostly fine. But money you simply want to hold and spend quietly does not need to live on a stage. Monero exists for exactly that. Sender hidden, receiver hidden, amount hidden, by default, on every transaction since 2014.
Going from ETH to XMR used to mean a big exchange, until the big exchanges started showing privacy coins the door. Binance delisted Monero in 2024 and others followed. The corridor did not close, it moved here: instant swaps with no account and no listing committee.
So this page does one thing. You paste a Monero address, send one Ethereum payment, and the card has already told you exactly what arrives, spread and network fee included. Ethereum confirms in about 3 minutes, so the wait on this pair is mercifully short.
ETH → XMR, by the numbers
- You send
- Ethereum (ETH) on the Ethereum network.
- You receive
- Monero (XMR) on the Monero network, at an address you control.
- Deposit confirmations
- 12 on Ethereum. At roughly 12-second blocks, that is about 3 minutes of waiting before the exchange starts.
- Minimum swap
- 0.005 ETH. Below that, network fees would eat too much of the swap to be worth it.
- Spread
- 0.5%, printed on the quote next to the payout network fee. There is no deposit fee.
- Typical total time
- About 5 to 20 minutes from sending your ETH to XMR arriving at your address.
Confirmation counts and minimums above are the live values our exchange engine uses, not marketing copy. Block times are network averages and can vary.
Three steps. One of them is just waiting.
- 01
Set the amount, paste your XMR address
Choose how much ETH you are sending. The card quotes your XMR payout with the spread and network fee already counted in. Paste the Monero address the payout should land at, plus an optional ETH refund address in case the swap cannot complete.
- 02
Send one ETH payment
You get a deposit address on the Ethereum network. Send your ETH to it from any wallet, in one payment of at least 0.005 ETH. No account, no email, nothing to install.

Watch the order page
Your deposit needs 12 confirmations on Ethereum, about 3 minutes. We screen it before the exchange starts, then send XMR to your address and post the transaction hash on your order page.
Why people move ETH into Monero
Leaving the glass house. An Ethereum wallet is a public diary. Airdrop hunters, NFT mints, DeFi positions, that one embarrassing memecoin: all of it is on display, forever, attached to one address graph. Moving a slice into Monero is how people end the exhibition without leaving crypto.
DeFi profits, private savings. A common pattern: earn on Ethereum, where the action is, then sweep profits into XMR, where the balance is nobody's business. The two chains have completely different jobs. One is a trading floor, the other is a wallet with the blinds down.
Doxxed wallets. ENS names, public donations, and on-chain reputations are great until you realize everyone can also see your rent money. People with publicly known Ethereum addresses, builders, streamers, founders, routinely keep their personal funds elsewhere. Monero is elsewhere.
The delisting effect, again. Since the big exchanges dropped XMR, this swap stopped being a three-click exchange trade and became an instant-swap corridor. No order book needed. One deposit in, one payout out, and our screening runs before the exchange starts, so nothing gets frozen halfway through. On a privacy pair, that guarantee is the entire product.
One honest note: swapping ETH for XMR does not retroactively erase your Ethereum history. The ledger keeps what the ledger has. What it does is make the next chapter unreadable. Plan accordingly and keep your own records, because in many countries this swap is still a taxable event.
ETH to XMR, asked and answered
How long does an ETH to XMR swap take?
Usually 5 to 20 minutes. Your Ethereum deposit needs 12 confirmations, about 3 minutes. The exchange takes seconds, and the Monero payout typically appears in your wallet within a couple of minutes. One footnote that trips people up: Monero itself requires 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes, before received funds become spendable. That lock is Monero's rule, not ours.
Is swapping Ethereum for Monero legal?
In most countries, yes. Holding and trading Monero is legal in the US, most of Europe, and most of the world, while a few jurisdictions pushed their exchanges to drop privacy coins. Knowing your local rules is on you. On our side, every deposit is screened before the exchange starts, and anything tied to sanctions lists is rejected rather than traded.
What Monero wallet should the payout go to?
Any wallet whose keys you hold. The official GUI and CLI wallets are the reference, Feather is a quick desktop choice, Cake Wallet and Monerujo cover phones. Your address will start with a 4, or an 8 for subaddresses, and either works here. Give a freshly created wallet a few minutes to sync before you panic about the balance.
Does this erase my Ethereum history?
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. Everything your Ethereum address already did stays public forever. What this swap changes is what happens next: once value moves into Monero, onlookers stop getting new chapters. Privacy going forward, not amnesia going backward.
Fixed or floating for this pair?
Ethereum confirms in about 3 minutes, so the market barely has time to move between quote and fill. Floating, at a 0.5% spread, is the sensible default. Fixed at 1.0% locks the rate at creation, which is worth the extra half percent mostly when prices are jumping around or you simply hate suspense.
Do I need an account or ID for this swap?
No. No sign-up, no email, no KYC under the screening threshold. Paste a Monero address, send one Ethereum payment, bookmark the order page. Screening runs before the exchange begins: pass and it proceeds, fail and your ETH returns to your refund address minus the network fee. We never freeze funds after the fact.
What is the minimum ETH to XMR swap?
0.005 ETH. Below that, network fees take a silly bite out of the swap. No upper limit is baked into the card, though very large deposits can get a human review before the exchange starts, never after. New here? Start small and judge us by the receipts.
Where to next
ETH in. XMR out. Nothing to sign up for in between.
