Status: waiting for your deposit
You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect, no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until a swap is opened.
The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. holdium.xyz never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.

The two cryptocurrencies operate on completely separate blockchains with incompatible privacy mechanisms. This page explains why that is, what actu

Dandelion++ is a privacy protocol used by certain cryptocurrencies - most notably Monero - to obscure the IP address of the device that originates a transaction. It works by first sending the transaction through a random "stem" path of nodes before "fluffing" it out to the wider network, so that the

Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing touches the blockchain until you withdraw.
You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the chain and you pay its fee.
