How to Swap SOL to XMR
Solana is quick and cheap, but it is also completely transparent and heavily indexed — every transfer, token movement, and program interaction tied to your address is public and easy to follow. If you want value off that chain and onto one that hides it by default, swapping SOL into Monero does exactly that, with no account.
As always, the honest framing: the SOL you send stays visible on Solana. What you gain is privacy on the Monero you receive. Here is how to swap SOL to XMR on XMRS.

Where privacy begins

The swap, step by step
Because the Solana side is near-instant, the timing is dominated by Monero's payout confirmations; most swaps finish within 20–60 minutes. A promocode lowers the exchange fee.
FAQ
Does this hide my Solana history?
No. Your SOL activity remains public on Solana. Privacy applies to the XMR you receive and what you do next.
Why keep some SOL back?
Even Solana's tiny fees need a little SOL in the account to send. Don't try to move the entire balance at once.
Fresh Monero address?
Yes — a new subaddress per swap is free and avoids clustering your receipts.
How do I move value back out later?
Use XMR → BTC or XMR → USDT.
