Which Ethereum network should I use when swapping ETH to XMR?

Zest supports ETH on several networks including Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BNB Smart Chain, and zkSync. Select the network that matches where your ETH is held — for example, if your ETH is on Arbitrum, choose Arbitrum as the send network. Sending from the wrong network can result in funds not being received.

Why do users swap ETH for XMR instead of buying XMR directly?

Many users already hold ETH and want to move into an asset with built-in privacy at the protocol level, without going through an additional fiat conversion. Monero's design means that once funds are in XMR, transaction amounts and participants are not visible on a public ledger the way they are on Ethereum. Swapping ETH → XMR directly skips an intermediate step and avoids re-entering the fiat system.

Is a standard Monero wallet address all I need to receive XMR from this swap?

Yes — a standard XMR wallet address is sufficient to receive Monero on this route, and no memo or destination tag is required. Double-check the full address before confirming, as Monero addresses are lengthy and a single character error will send funds to an unrecoverable address.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for ETH to XMR?

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 ETH 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.

How long does a ETH to XMR exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your ETH 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.

Do I need an account to exchange ETH for XMR?

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

Swapping ETH for XMR is a common move for users who want to shift value from a transparent, on-chain-traceable asset into Monero's privacy-preserving network. Monero uses ring signatures and stealth addresses by design, so many users exchange into XMR when they want funds held in a form that doesn't expose transaction history or balances on a public ledger. This route also connects Ethereum's broad multi-network ecosystem directly to Monero's single native network, which is worth keeping in mind when you set up the swap.

How to swap ETH for XMR

1
Open the exchange widget and select ETH as the send currency and XMR as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of ETH you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your XMR wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it.
4
Click Exchange and send your ETH to the deposit address shown. Your XMR arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging ETH → XMR

Before confirming your ETH → XMR swap, choose the correct Ethereum-side network — ETH is supported on Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BNB Smart Chain, zkSync, and others, and the network you select must match the wallet or platform you're sending from, since a mismatch can result in lost funds. No memo or destination tag is required on either side of this route. On the receive side, XMR operates on a single native network, so there's no network selection to make — just verify your Monero wallet address character by character before submitting, as Monero addresses are long and errors are easy to miss. On-chain confirmations for both ETH and XMR can vary depending on network conditions, so allow some time after broadcast before expecting the XMR to arrive. Review all details on the confirmation screen, including the send network and receive address, before finalising.
