How to Receive Swap XMR in Monero GUI

To receive XMR from a swap in Monero GUI, give the swap service a receiving address from your wallet and wait for the wallet to detect the payment. The service sends XMR to that address after it receives the asset you are swapping. You do not need to import a special swap file or connect the wallet to the service.

How do I prepare my wallet to receive XMR?

Open your wallet and let it sync with the Monero network. Then select the Receive page and choose an address. A subaddress—a separate receiving address linked to the same wallet—is useful for keeping this swap’s payment distinct from other incoming funds. You can create one, label it “swap,” and copy it for the service.

Check that the swap form asks for an XMR receiving address, then paste the address from Monero GUI into that field. The service may show an expected amount and ask you to send another coin to a deposit address it provides. For the cross-chain mechanics, read how an XMR bridge moves coins between chains. The wallet steps begin once the service has your input.

• Use a receiving address from the wallet you control.
• Copy the full address, then compare its beginning and end after pasting.
• Check that the swap form is set to send XMR on the Monero network.
• Save the service’s order details so you can check its status.

A wrong address or network can send funds somewhere you cannot recover them. If the service offers a small test swap and the amount matters to you, testing first can limit the cost of a mistake.

What happens after I start the swap?

The swap service first waits for the asset you send to arrive and meet its required confirmations. It then sends XMR to the receiving address you entered. The timing depends on the service, the asset’s network and its processing rules, so a quote or order page is the place to check the current status.

An XMR bridge is one way to describe a service moving value between blockchains. The service’s order tracking and Monero GUI show different parts of the process: the order page reports what the service is doing, while your wallet reports what it has detected on Monero. A swap marked complete by the service may take time to appear in the wallet if the wallet is still catching up with the network.

How can I confirm the XMR arrived?

Keep Monero GUI open and allow it to sync. Check the History or Receive page for an incoming transaction to the address you gave the service. Once detected, the transaction may appear before it has enough confirmations for the service or another recipient to treat it as final.

If nothing appears, check the order status first: confirm that the service received your deposit and says it sent XMR. Then check that the wallet is synced and that you used the correct network and address. If the service reports a completed payout but the wallet is still syncing, let it finish and check again. If the wallet is synced and the transaction remains missing, contact the service with your order details and ask for its payout transaction information.

The key step is to enter the wallet’s XMR receiving address in the swap order itself. After that, the service handles the cross-chain exchange, and Monero GUI detects the incoming payment as it scans the network.
