Why 32 confirmations, not 10 or 150
10 confirmations — Monero recommendation for retail payments. Sufficient against double-spend in normal conditions, but for large amounts a theoretical deep-reorg risk remains.
32 confirmations — our choice. Protects against any realistic reorg of the network (Monero has never experienced a reorg deeper than 5 blocks in its entire history). Balance between speed and security.
150 confirmations — KuCoin/MEXC choice. Technically excessive, practically — a way to discourage active XMR operations (exchanges under regulatory pressure are increasingly hostile to Monero).
Addresses and subaddresses — what this means
Modern Monero wallets (official Monero GUI/CLI, Cake Wallet, Feather) generate subaddresses — this is the address we ask for in the form. Memo / Payment ID is not required — Monero deprecated Payment IDs in 2019 in favor of subaddresses.
Do not use “exchange addresses for Monero” that require Payment ID — outdated practice, can lead to loss of funds.
FAQ
Is it legal?
Yes. Monero is a legal cryptocurrency in most jurisdictions including the US, EU countries, Ukraine, CIS. Exchange of XMR without KYC is legal if the amount does not exceed the mandatory verification threshold (varies by country).
Can I withdraw a large amount of XMR to a bank?
Through us — only to crypto or cash. For fiat bank transfers, licensed intermediaries with KYC are required. Large amounts are best split into parts or processed through P2P channels.
How are deposits accepted?
You receive a unique subaddress, send XMR, we wait for 32 network confirmations (~1 hour), then credit funds or execute the exchange. The rate is fixed at order creation.
What if all exchanges delist Monero?
At the technological level XMR will continue to work — it is a decentralized network independent of exchanges. Demand for no-KYC exchangers will only grow. We are prepared for this scenario: XMR liquidity is sourced through multiple channels, not only centralized exchanges.
