Due to Monero's (XMR) privacy features such as ring signatures and stealth addresses, traditional cross-chain bridges are incompatible with Monero because these features prevent deposit verification required by standard lock-and-mint mechanisms. Services like GhostSwap enable direct conversion of assets such as BTC, ETH, or SOL into native Monero without wrapping tokens or KYC verification, typically completing within 10-30 minutes while also protecting privacy.
