Buy Monero.
Stay Anonymous.
Retro Swap is built around a single goal: make it simple for anyone to buy or sell Monero (XMR) without handing over their identity. No KYC forms, no AML screening, no registration — just send crypto and receive XMR.
Monero Exchange, Front and Center
Every feature on this platform exists to serve one transaction: converting your crypto into Monero. Send Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Solana or 50+ other coins — receive XMR directly to your wallet. No wrapping, no intermediary token, no detours.
Anonymous by Architecture
There are no user accounts because we never built them. No identity step exists because we deliberately left it out. Your Monero swap is processed with a deposit address, a destination wallet, and an amount — nothing personal enters the picture.
Automated from Start to Finish
The second your deposit is confirmed on-chain, the engine executes the swap and dispatches XMR to your wallet. No human reviews the transaction. No queue. No compliance hold. Most swaps arrive within five minutes of confirmation.
Non-Custodial Exchange
Retro Swap never holds your crypto in a named account. Your funds move through the swap engine and land in your Monero wallet. We are a pass-through service, not a custodian.
Why Monero, and Why Now
Every public blockchain is a permanent record. Bitcoin addresses, Ethereum wallets, USDT transfers — they are all indexed, monitored and sold to analytics companies that governments and exchanges actively use to trace funds. If you have ever been asked by a CEX to explain the origin of a deposit, you have felt the consequences of transparent blockchains firsthand.
Monero was designed to solve this problem at the protocol level. Ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT work together to make XMR transactions unlinkable and untraceable — not because a policy says so, but because the math makes it impossible. Once your funds are in Monero, the on-chain trail ends. Retro Swap exists to make that transition as quick and frictionless as possible for anyone who values financial privacy.
Our Core Principles
- No Identity, EverNo name, no email address, no phone number, no passport. We are structurally incapable of linking your transaction to a person because we collect nothing personal.
- No Wallet ScreeningYour deposit and destination addresses are never run through Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs or any equivalent service. Where your funds came from is not our business.
- Rates You Can TrustThe exchange rate shown at order creation is locked for 30 minutes. The XMR amount displayed is what arrives in your wallet, minus only the outgoing network fee. No hidden spreads applied after the fact.
- Independent InfrastructureRetro Swap operates independently of any centralized exchange that could freeze, flag or report your swap. Your order lives only as long as your session.
How a Swap Actually Works
The process is short: select the coin you are sending, enter your Monero destination address, and submit. A unique deposit address is generated for your order. Send your chosen cryptocurrency to that address from any wallet — no login required, no confirmation email expected. The moment the source blockchain confirms your deposit, Monero is sent directly to the address you provided.
You can close the tab after sending. The swap engine runs independently of your browser session. The only thing worth keeping is your Order ID, which you can use to reach support if anything unexpected happens.
