Stellar and Ethereum live on different blockchains, and this swap uses the native assets on both, with no bridge contract and no wrapped token. The exchange receives XLM on Stellar and pays out ETH on Base.
Your ETH is paid on Base. Use an address that starts with 0x and is 42 characters long.
Type how much XLM you want to swap (minimum about 22.3 XLM). The ETH you will receive updates live.
The best no-KYC rate is already chosen for you. The form shows what you receive, how long it usually takes and the KYC rating of the route.
Paste the Base address where you want to be paid. A refund address for your XLM is optional but recommended.
Send the exact amount to the deposit address on Stellar. After it confirms (a few seconds), the ETH is sent to your address.

Enter the XLM amount on this page, paste your ETH address and send your XLM to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ETH is paid directly to your wallet.
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current XLM to ETH rate for the amount you enter.
The minimum is about 22.3 XLM and the maximum about 6,957,435 XLM. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your XLM deposit to confirm on Stellar, which takes a few seconds. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Stellar and Base are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Your ETH is paid on Base. Use an address that starts with 0x and is 42 characters long. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Base network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Stellar network fee to send the deposit.
Yes. The reverse direction, ETH (Base) to XLM, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
