Exchange BNB to XMR

Zest supports BNB on both BNB Smart Chain and OPBNB. Choose the network that matches where your BNB is held — for example, if your BNB is on BNB Smart Chain, select that network when initiating the swap. Sending on the wrong network can result in failed or lost transactions.

Monero uses ring signatures and stealth addresses to keep transaction details private by default, which attracts users who want to move away from a transparent public ledger. BNB is widely held on centralized platforms, making it a convenient starting point for users looking to convert into a privacy-native asset. The swap lets users exit the BNB ecosystem without going through additional intermediary assets.

Yes — as long as the destination is a valid XMR address on the Monero network, you can receive the output in any compatible self-custody or software wallet. No memo or tag is needed for Monero on this route. Always copy the full address carefully, since Monero transactions cannot be reversed once broadcast.

Zest is non-custodial and needs no account for standard swaps, so no identity is attached to the order itself. On-chain privacy still depends on the assets: XMR supports protocol-level privacy features, while transparent chains record amounts and addresses publicly. Swapping does not make a transparent chain private, and XMR confirmations can take longer than average.

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of XMR you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your BNB deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

Timing depends on how quickly your BNB deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and XMR network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send BNB from your own wallet and receive XMR at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.
