Exchange UNI to XMR

UNI can be sent from Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, or Arbitrum. You must select the network that matches where your UNI is actually held — choosing the wrong one will cause the transaction to fail or the funds to be undeliverable. Check your wallet or exchange balance to confirm which network holds your UNI before initiating the swap.

UNI is a governance token tied to the Uniswap protocol, while XMR is designed primarily as a private medium of exchange. Traders often make this swap when they want to convert a DeFi governance position into an asset with strong on-chain privacy properties, such as obscured sender, receiver, and amount data. Monero's proof-of-work mining model also makes it structurally different from most ERC-20 tokens, which some users prefer for holding value privately.

No memo or destination tag is required when receiving XMR on the Monero network. Simply provide your standard Monero wallet address. Always copy the address carefully, as Monero transactions are irreversible and cannot be redirected once sent.

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 UNI 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 UNI 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 UNI from your own wallet and receive XMR at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.
