TL;DR: Convert ETH to XMR with no KYC

• Start immediately—no registration.
• Send ETH to a one‑time address; receive XMR after confirmations.
• See rate and fees upfront (fixed or floating quotes).
• Works with MetaMask/Rabby (ETH) and Feather/Monero GUI/Cake Wallet (XMR).

Why choose Swapcherry for ETH → XMR

• No account / no KYC: Begin in seconds—no personal data.
• Transparent quotes: Rate, network fees, and expected XMR are shown before sending.
• Clear settlement: After confirmations, XMR is sent to your wallet automatically.

What you’ll need

• A wallet with ETH on Ethereum mainnet
• A Monero receiving address (integrated or standard; subaddresses recommended)
• A small buffer of ETH for gas

Tip: Generate a new XMR subaddress for each swap to simplify tracking and privacy.

How to convert ETH to XMR (step‑by‑step)

1. Open the Swapcherry widget and select ETH → XMR.
2. Paste your XMR address and choose a quote type (fixed or floating).
3. Review the live quote: rate, service fee, network fees, expected XMR.
4. Confirm to get a one‑time ETH deposit address.
5. Send the exact ETH amount within the quote window.
6. After confirmations, receive XMR automatically to your wallet.

Monero address tips (compatibility and best practice)

• Prefer using a new subaddress for each receipt.
• No memo is required for native XMR transfers.
• Keep seeds and view/spend keys secure; consider hardware wallet support where available.

Ethereum‑specific considerations (important)

• Gas (EIP‑1559): Extremely low priority fees can stall your transaction.
• Correct network: Use Ethereum mainnet unless your quote says otherwise.
• Stuck txs: Use RBF or cancellation to resolve pending txs before starting.

Fees, confirmations, and timing (plain‑English)

• Fees: ETH gas varies; XMR network fees are usually modest.
• Confirmations: Payout starts after required ETH confirmations; then XMR is broadcast.
• Timing: XMR wallets scan for incoming outputs; allow time for wallet recognition after broadcast.

Quotes, slippage, and expirations

• Quotes reflect current liquidity; floating rates can move with the market.
• If a fixed quote expires before ETH confirms, generate a fresh quote.

Fixed vs floating rate: which to use?

• Fixed: Locks your rate briefly—ideal when you need a set XMR amount.
• Floating: Fewer timing constraints; final XMR can vary slightly at execution.

Privacy: minimizing linkability when going ETH → XMR

• ETH is transparent; XMR is privacy‑focused. Using a fresh XMR subaddress for each swap reduces linkage across receipts.
• Avoid reusing the same ETH sender for unrelated activities if privacy matters.
• For very large amounts, split swaps over multiple windows.

Paying the invoice: exact, partial, or overpayments

• Exact: Best for fast, automated settlement.
• Under/Over: Small deltas may auto‑recalculate; larger ones might need manual review or refunds.

Refunds and safety

• Refunds, when applicable, return in ETH to the originating address.
• Orders are screened under our AML policy. Review our privacy and terms.

Large swaps: good practice

• Start with a small test swap to validate addresses and timing.
• Space out large transfers to reduce operational and market risk.

Explorer checks (what you can and can’t see)

• Ethereum explorers show your transaction, gas, and confirmations.
• Monero explorers only display your tx hash and confirmations; amounts and addresses are private by design.

Worked example (fixed vs floating)

1. You hold 6.0 ETH and want XMR to a new subaddress in Feather.
2. Fixed quote: Lock a rate, send 6.0000 ETH, receive the quoted XMR if confirmations are timely.
3. Floating quote: Send 6.0000 ETH; final XMR depends on the market at execution.

Troubleshooting

• XMR hasn’t arrived: Confirm ETH confirmations; then allow your XMR wallet time to scan and detect the incoming output.
• Wrong amount sent: Contact support with the ETH tx hash; minor deltas may auto‑recalculate.
• Address issues: Use a valid XMR address (standard or subaddress); integrated addresses are usually supported but subaddresses are preferred.
