Swapping XLM for ETH
Live XLM to ETH rate and quote
This route converts Stellar (XLM) into Ethereum (ETH) with non-custodial execution. Use the live quote above to account for current market liquidity, network load, and route availability before you confirm.
Step-by-step: complete your swap
- Choose how much Stellar (XLM) you want to send and select a flow type. Fixed helps with predictability; standard can be better during calm books.
- Enter a valid Ethereum (ETH) receiving address and confirm the network context shown in the selector.
- Create the swap to generate a one-time deposit address and any extra fields (memo/tag) required for settlement.
- Send Stellar (XLM), wait for confirmation rules on that chain, then Ethereum (ETH) is released to your destination address.
Asset context and network notes
Stellar transfers are generally fast and inexpensive.
Ethereum gas fees depend on current network demand.
Common XLM use cases: lightweight payments, cross-border transfers, exchange movement. Common ETH use cases: DeFi collateral, onchain settlements, token routing.
Standard vs fixed exchange rate
- Standard flow: Typically better market pricing; final output may vary slightly versus the initial estimate.
- Fixed: Attempts to lock a quoted output for a short validity window; useful when planning exact receive amounts.
- Memo/Tag caution: One side of this route frequently requires a memo/tag on exchange destinations. Copy all extra fields exactly.
Networks, fees, and minimums
Network fees on XLM and ETH routes are paid to validators or miners, not retained on this page.
Minimum and maximum send amounts are enforced in the live quote widget; they change with liquidity and route policy.
Timing and chain confirmations
Confirmation behavior: Often quick finality at network level. on the send side and Usually visible quickly; finality confidence increases after additional blocks. on the receive side. Total time depends on both chains, congestion, and route liquidity.
Before you send (safety checklist)
Many custodial destinations require memo fields; missing memo can require support recovery. Always verify token/network compatibility; ERC-20 assets are not interchangeable with other networks. Information here is educational and may omit edge cases (maintenance windows, route suspensions, compliance checks). Always verify addresses/networks before sending.

Frequently asked questions
How do I swap XLM to ETH?
Enter amount, select flow, add your ETH address, create the swap, then send XLM to the generated deposit address.
How long does XLM to ETH take?
Timing depends on chain confirmations, network congestion, and route liquidity. Most complete in minutes, but longer delays can happen.
Do I need memo/tag or extra fields?
Some assets/networks require memo/tag fields. If one is shown for your order, copy it exactly.
