Monero Swap (XMR)
Monero is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. Its blockchain hides the sender, receiver and amount of each transaction by default, using ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT. Because these protections apply to every transfer, Monero coins are interchangeable with one another in practice. Monero uses proof-of-work mining designed to run on ordinary computer processors, and it is held in dedicated wallets that support its address formats.
People exchange Monero to move between XMR and other coins without opening an account. On BreezeSwap you send your deposit to a one-time address created for your order, and the payout goes directly to your wallet. No account or sign-up is required. KYC is not required for most swaps, but liquidity partners may request verification, e.g. if a deposit is flagged by risk screening.

Tips for sending and receiving XMR
- Standard Monero addresses start with 4 and subaddresses start with 8. Both work for receiving; copy and paste the full address to avoid typos.
- Received XMR is spendable after 10 confirmations, which takes about 20 minutes. Your wallet shows the balance as locked until then.
- Make sure your wallet is fully synced before sending, so it can build a valid transaction and show the correct balance.
- Keep the transaction ID from your wallet. It helps support locate your deposit if you have a question about the order.
