Exchange 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.

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.

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.

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