How to Swap USDT to Monero Privately in 3 Minutes

Converting stablecoins into privacy coins is the most common privacy move in crypto. Here's how to do it without friction.

Step 1 — Pick your deposit network. USDT exists on many chains. TRC20 (Tron) usually has the lowest fees; ERC20 is the most battle-tested. Choose the network your wallet actually holds — sending on the wrong network is the #1 cause of stuck funds.

Step 2 — Enter your XMR address. Use a wallet you control (Feather, Monero GUI, Cake, or a hardware wallet). Monero addresses start with 4 or 8. Double-check the first and last 6 characters.

Step 3 — Send to the generated deposit address. The rate is locked when the order is created. After your deposit confirms, the exchange completes automatically — usually within minutes.

Pro tips: use a fresh receiving address for each swap (Monero wallets generate these automatically), and consider Tor if you want to separate your browsing identity from your order.
