Monero to Bitcoin Exchange Rates
Monero uses RandomX proof of work with 120-second target blocks, while Bitcoin uses SHA-256d proof of work with 600-second target blocks. The required 10 XMR confirmations and 2 BTC confirmations each imply a nominal 20-minute confirmation delay, but actual block intervals are probabilistic.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does XMR to BTC take?
If BTC is broadcast after the XMR deposit reaches 10 confirmations, the expected chain time is 10 × 120 = 1,200 seconds for XMR plus 2 × 600 = 1,200 seconds for BTC: 2,400 seconds, or 40 minutes total. The supplied typical settlement windows are 20-30 minutes for XMR and 15-25 minutes for BTC, giving an indicative combined range of 35-55 minutes. Block arrival variability and additional routing or processing delays prevent a guaranteed completion time.
What network fees apply to this swap?
The XMR deposit sender pays a fee in XMR based on transaction weight, Monero's dynamic fee rate and the selected priority. The BTC payout broadcaster pays a fee in BTC based on transaction virtual size in vbytes and the selected fee rate in sat/vB; fee-rate selection depends on mempool competition and the desired confirmation speed. The route may include the payout fee in its quote or deduct it from the BTC output. Neither chain charges a separate receiving fee, and any exchange service fee is distinct from network fees.
