Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ETH amount and paste your Monero payout address on Monero mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ETH to that deposit. After confirmations, XMR is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Base confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ETH on Base mainnet only — not Ethereum L1, Optimism, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Base-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Base for gas on top of the swap amount.
- XMR not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
ETH on Base mainnet
Use a Base wallet for deposits. Ethereum mainnet ETH is a different network — wrong-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Base for gas in addition to the amount you swap.
Monero — private by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.
XMR not visible yet?
Wait for wallet sync to complete — Monero often needs several minutes to reflect incoming outputs.
If the order lists a payout tx but your synced wallet shows nothing, contact support.
Receiving XMR privately
Monero payouts use one-time addresses — your wallet must finish scanning recent blocks to display the balance.
- Use a fresh subaddress for each swap rather than reusing old receive addresses.
- Compare your wallet block height with a public explorer before assuming a payout failed.
- Allow extra time after the order shows sent — privacy features can delay wallet display.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ETH for XMR?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Ethereum (Base) → Monero.
How long is a ETH → XMR order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Base mainnet and Monero mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ETH or XMR?
No. You send ETH yourself and XMR is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong ETH network?
Match the network printed on the order (Base mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
