Stellar lumens (XLM) are native to the Stellar network, a payment-focused blockchain designed for fast, low-cost transfers. Many users swap into XLM to move funds across platforms efficiently, then swap back out once the transfer is complete. Because XLM operates on a single dedicated network, there is no ambiguity around which chain to use when sending or receiving.
Before swapping XLM, confirm your receiving wallet or exchange address is on the Stellar network — XLM exists only on Stellar, so there is no secondary chain to select. Critically, the Stellar network requires a memo for deposits to most custodial platforms; if your destination shows a memo field, copy it exactly into the memo field when setting up your swap. Omitting or mistyping a required memo can result in funds being delayed or permanently lost at the receiving platform. Self-custody wallets typically do not require a memo, but check your wallet's documentation if you are unsure. Zest shows the full destination details and rate before you confirm, so review everything carefully before submitting.
Stellar
Requires MemoWhere an extra identifier such as a memo or tag is required, enter it exactly when the receiving platform asks for one — transfers without it can be delayed or lost.
