MoneroSwap
How it works & FAQ
Swap in and out of Monero with no account, in three steps — and we keep nothing on you to do it.
1 · Pick your swap, get a quote
Choose what you're sending and what you want to receive, enter an amount, and paste your destination address. You see the rate, the 1% fee, and the minimum you'll receive before you commit to anything.
2 · Send to the deposit address
We hand you a deposit address and the exact amount to send. Your funds go straight to the swap network that settles the trade — never to us. Send the exact amount, in one transfer, before the quote timer runs out.
3 · Receive your coins
The swap network does its thing and sends the output to your address. Most swaps finish in about 15–20 minutes. You can close the tab — just save your Swap Pass first if you want to check back.
Do I need an account?
No. No sign-up, no email, no login. Ever.
Do you ever hold my coins?
Never. MoneroSwap is non-custodial — your funds flow directly to the settlement network's deposit address. Because we never hold them, we can't freeze, reverse, or seize them, and no one can pressure us into doing so.
What do you store about me?
Nothing we can avoid: no account, no cookies, no analytics, no third-party calls, no database of swaps. The full breakdown — and our warrant canary — is on the privacy page.
What does it cost?
A flat 1% service fee, shown in the quote before you confirm. No hidden markup on the rate.
Is there a minimum?
Yes — roughly $25 for swaps involving Monero (the exact floor depends on the pair). The form tells you the minimum for your selection and won't let you undershoot it.
What can I swap?
Monero in and out against major assets across multiple chains — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and popular stablecoins and L2 tokens among them. Use the asset picker to see the full list, grouped by chain.
How long does a swap take?
Usually 15–20 minutes once your deposit is detected. A cross-chain swap moves through several steps — confirming, preparing, swapping — and the progress bar tracks them.
My swap went from "Swapping" back to "Preparing" — is it broken?
No. A cross-chain engine sometimes retries a step (for example, funding gas again before executing). Your deposit is safe and the progress bar won't move backward. If it genuinely can't complete, it moves to a refund instead of disappearing.
What if a swap can't go through?
Your funds are returned to a refund address. This is why we ask for one (it's optional but strongly recommended) — set it and we register it automatically the moment it's needed.
How do refunds work, and why keep my Swap Pass?
We hold no record, so a refund address can only be submitted while your swap page is open or when you re-open your Swap Pass link. Save that link, and you can come back to register a refund address or check status anytime — no account required. Lose it, and we have nothing stored to look you up by.
What is a Swap Pass?
A private link to your swap that lives entirely in the URL and never touches our servers. It's your receipt and your way back in. Keep it secret — anyone with it can view that swap's status.
Can I check a swap later?
Yes — open your Swap Pass link, or head to Recover a swap.
Are you custodial? Can you freeze my funds?
No and no. We're only the interface. We take no custody and have no power to freeze, reverse, or claw back a swap — that's the whole point.
How are you different from other swaps?
A swap that can't be held hostage: no account, no tracking, no third-party calls, and a screening that happens before you send rather than a freeze after. We keep nothing on you, so there's nothing to leak, sell, or surrender.
Should I use Tor or a VPN?
Yes, if privacy matters to you — it masks your IP from the site and the network. More on protecting yourself is on the privacy page.
