Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the XMR amount and paste your Bitcoin mainnet receive address.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the Monero deposit address.
-
Send XMR on Monero mainnet. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Monero deposits need confirmations before the swap continues — wallet sync matters on both sides.
- Send from a synced Monero wallet. An out-of-sync wallet can broadcast late or show incorrect balances.
- Your BTC receive address can be Legacy, SegWit, or Taproot — match the format your wallet actually supports.
- BTC payout timing depends on Bitcoin mempool congestion after your XMR deposit confirms.
Monero — private by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.
Monero wallet sync
An out-of-sync wallet may not display incoming funds even after the order shows a payout.
Compare your wallet block height with a public Monero explorer before opening a support ticket.
Bitcoin — the original digital asset
Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.
When is my BTC spendable?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
Checking your BTC payout
- Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
- Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
- Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade XMR for BTC?
No. GetSwap does not ask for registration or identity documents on Monero to Bitcoin orders.
How long is an XMR → BTC order?
Monero deposits need confirmations before payout. Total time is usually a few minutes depending on both networks.
Do you custody XMR or BTC on this route?
No. You send XMR from your wallet and BTC is paid to the Bitcoin address you enter — GetSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
My Monero wallet is out of sync — can I still trade?
Broadcast only from a synced Monero wallet. An out-of-sync wallet can send late or show incorrect balances — wait for sync before sending your deposit.
