Swap Monero to Bitcoin

No account, no email, no verification: measure a dose of Monero, paste the BTC address the distillate goes to, and the lab does the rest.

Leaving Monero for Bitcoin needs 10 confirmations (about 20 min) before the lab can see the deposit, which is the longest part of this batch. The BTC delivery itself is fast.

Once the deposit confirms on Monero, distillation starts and the BTC lands in your flask without any further action on your side.

The process

How to swap XMR for BTC

  1. I

    Measure the XMR

    Enter how much Monero you pour and the BTC address the distillate goes to. The estimate updates before you commit.

  2. II

    Pour into the athanor

    Send exactly that dose from any wallet to the deposit address, on Monero mainnet. The furnace lights at the first confirmation (10 confirmations (about 20 min)).

  3. III

    Collect the BTC

    The lab distills and delivers to your flask on Bitcoin mainnet. About 27 minutes end to end, confirmations included.

Questions

XMR → BTC, answered

More in the codex, or write to the lab.

How long does a XMR to BTC swap take?

About 27 minutes for the median batch. Most of it is waiting for 10 confirmations (about 20 min) on Monero; the delivery on Bitcoin is quick once distillation starts.

What is the minimum amount of XMR?

About 0.043 XMR (about $25) at today's prices. Below that, network fees would eat the distillate, so the batch pauses until you top up or ask for a return.

Is the rate fixed?

Yes. The expected BTC output is engraved when you seal the batch and holds until the expiry shown on the deposit page. A deposit that arrives after expiry is handled at the live formula or returned, and you are told which.

Do I need an account or ID to swap XMR for BTC?

No. There is no account, no email and no identity check. The batch number you receive is the only way to find the batch again, so keep it.

Which BTC address should I give?

Any BTC address you control on Bitcoin mainnet, including an exchange deposit address. Double-check it: the lab cannot recall a distillate once it is sent.

What if I send XMR on the wrong network?

The deposit address listens on Monero mainnet only. Tokens sent on another chain are not seen by the athanor; some can be recovered by a technician for a handling fee, many cannot. When in doubt, send a small test dose first.
