How the swap works
-
Enter the BTC amount and paste a Monero mainnet receive address β a new subaddress is recommended β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
-
Open the order to see the live quote and the BTC deposit address β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
-
Send BTC on Bitcoin mainnet. After confirmation, XMR is paid to your wallet β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Check these before you send
- One Bitcoin confirmation is usually enough before the XMR payout starts.
- Send from a SegWit (bc1β¦) address when your wallet supports it β lower fees and faster inclusion β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Generate a fresh Monero subaddress for each order. Do not reuse old XMR receive addresses β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- XMR not showing yet? Let the Monero wallet finish scanning β incoming outputs can take several minutes to appear β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Bitcoin β privacy-wallet liquidity hub
Bitcoin remains the deepest funding asset for anonymous NO-KYC routes on PrivSwap β liquid, widely held, and a common first leg into XMR, ETH, and stables.
Before you send BTC
- Confirm the wallet can pay SegWit (bc1β¦) deposits.
- Budget a network fee β cheap fees mean slower confirmation.
- Send only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the deposit shown on your PrivSwap order.
BTC deposit timing
Block times vary with load and the fee you choose.
- Use mempool.space (or similar) to see if your fee is competitive.
- Explorers show queue depth β compare against pending volume.
- Average BTC blocks are ~10 minutes; longer gaps happen.
Why BTC funds privacy-first swaps
BTCβs liquidity makes it a common funding leg for anonymous PrivSwap routes.
Moving into ETH, stables, or alt L1s opens DeFi and payments without funding a custodial exchange balance.
Monero β default privacy-wallet asset
Monero hides amounts and destinations with ring signatures and one-time addresses β a core privacy-first asset for anonymous NO-KYC swaps on PrivSwap.
XMR still invisible?
Finish wallet sync β Monero often needs minutes to show incoming outputs.
If PrivSwap lists a payout but a synced wallet shows nothing, message support.
Receiving XMR privately on PrivSwap
XMR payouts use one-time addresses β finish scanning recent blocks to see the balance.
- Use a fresh subaddress per swap instead of recycling old receives.
- Compare your wallet block height with a public explorer before assuming a payout failed β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Allow extra time after PrivSwap shows sent β privacy scanning can delay display.

Privacy swap FAQ
Does BTC to XMR require KYC or an account?
No. PrivSwap does not ask for a profile, ID upload, or a funded account for Bitcoin to Monero.
Why move BTC into XMR for privacy?
Bitcoin is transparent on-chain; Monero uses default privacy features. Many users bridge BTC into XMR before holding or spending privately β always use a fresh Monero subaddress for each order.
How long until XMR arrives?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Bitcoin usually needs one confirmation; Monero payout may take a few minutes to appear after your wallet syncs.
What address format should I use for XMR?
Use a Monero mainnet subaddress your wallet generates. SegWit (bc1β¦) BTC sends are recommended on the deposit side when your wallet supports them.
