Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the RUNE amount and paste your Ethereum payout address on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send RUNE to that deposit. After confirmations, ETH is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on THORChain mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only RUNE on THORChain mainnet to the address on your order page.
- ETH not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
THORChain
Always match RUNE on THORChain mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports THORChain mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Ethereum — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
What if my ETH hasn't arrived?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
How fast is the ETH payout?
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
Receiving ETH on the correct network
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.

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