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
- 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.
- 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.
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.
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. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Ethereum (Base) → Stellar.
How long is a ETH → XLM order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Base 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 — GetSwap 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.
