Ethereum to Monero Exchange Rates
Ethereum uses proof-of-stake with 12-second slots, implying approximately 144 seconds for 12 confirmations; ETH is native currency, while ERC-20 is a token standard. Monero uses RandomX proof-of-work with a 120-second target block interval, implying approximately 1,200 seconds for 10 confirmations, with variable block arrival times.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does ETH to XMR take?
Using the supplied intervals and sequential confirmation stages: (12 × 12 seconds) + (10 × 120 seconds) = 1,344 seconds, or 22 minutes 24 seconds of nominal confirmation time. The supplied typical settlement ranges total 25–40 minutes: 5–10 minutes on Ethereum plus 20–30 minutes on Monero. Transaction inclusion, skipped Ethereum slots, variable Monero block arrivals and routing delays prevent an exact elapsed-time guarantee. Twelve Ethereum confirmations are a routing threshold, not protocol finality.
What network fees apply to this swap?
The Ethereum deposit pays gas in ETH: gas used × (base fee + effective priority fee). The base fee is burned; the priority fee goes to the block's fee recipient. A basic native ETH transfer without calldata or contract execution uses 21,000 gas; ERC-20 transfers and contract deposits use execution-dependent gas. The Monero payout broadcaster pays a fee in XMR based on transaction weight and a dynamically adjusted network fee rate; whether that cost is deducted from the payout depends on the route's quote. Neither network has a fixed fee in currency units, and provider charges or spreads are separate.
