Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ETH amount and paste your Stellar payout address on Stellar mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ETH to that deposit. After confirmations, XLM is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Ethereum deposits confirm quickly — usually within a few blocks (~12s each).
- During gas spikes, confirmation cost rises but inclusion remains fast.
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet only — not BSC, Base, or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- XLM not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Ethereum — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
Sending ETH to the right network
Use an Ethereum mainnet wallet for deposits. L2 or alternate-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ETH for XLM?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Ethereum → Stellar.
How long is a ETH → XLM order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Ethereum mainnet and Stellar mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ETH or XLM?
No. You send ETH yourself and XLM 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 (Ethereum mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
