How the swap works
-
Enter the XMR amount and paste your Bitcoin mainnet receive address.
-
Open the order to see the live quote and the Monero deposit address.
-
Send XMR on Monero mainnet. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Monero deposits need confirmations before the swap continues — keep both wallets in sync.
- Broadcast only from a synced Monero wallet. An unsynced client can send late or show the wrong balance.
- Your BTC receive address can be Legacy, SegWit, or Taproot — use the format your wallet actually supports.
- BTC payout speed follows Bitcoin mempool load after your XMR deposit confirms.
Monero — privacy on by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and destinations stay confidential on-chain.
Keep the Monero wallet synced
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 base layer of crypto
Since 2009 Bitcoin has been the reference asset — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the usual starting point for cross-chain routes.
When can I spend the BTC payout?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
How to verify a 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.
Read before you send
Wrong-network deposits and address mistakes are the usual failure modes — start with these notes.

Frequently asked questions
Does XMR to BTC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for registration or identity documents on Monero to Bitcoin orders.
How long until BTC arrives?
Monero deposits need confirmations before payout. Total time is usually a few minutes depending on both networks.
Do you hold XMR or BTC on this route?
No. You send XMR from your wallet and BTC is paid to the Bitcoin address you enter — PeakSwap 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.
