Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the XLM amount and paste your Ethereum payout address on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send XLM to that deposit. After confirmations, ETH is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
- A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
- Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
- 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
Sending XLM on Stellar
Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.
If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.
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 XLM for ETH?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Stellar → Ethereum.
How long is a XLM → ETH order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Stellar mainnet and Ethereum mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody XLM or ETH?
No. You send XLM 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 XLM network?
Match the network printed on the order (Stellar mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
