Exchange ETH to XLM

Choose the network where your ETH currently exists—Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, and others are supported. Sending ETH from a network you don't actually hold it on will fail the swap, so verify your wallet's active network before proceeding.

A memo is a numeric or text identifier that tells the Stellar network which account should receive your XLM. Custodial exchanges and hosted wallets require a memo to route your incoming funds correctly; if the receiving platform shows a memo field, you must include it during your swap or your funds may not arrive at the intended account.

XLM offers fast settlement and very low fees, making it an efficient intermediate step for moving value between platforms or cashing out large ETH positions cheaply. Many traders swap ETH to XLM, transfer it, then convert to their preferred asset on the destination side.

Yes. XLM deposits on this network are matched by Memo, so the address alone is not enough — a transfer sent without it can land in the wrong account and is often unrecoverable. Copy the Memo exactly as your receiving wallet or exchange shows it and paste it into the Memo field in the swap form, next to the address.

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of XLM 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.

Timing depends on how quickly your ETH deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and XLM 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 ETH from your own wallet and receive XLM at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.
