How To Get Monero Safely Now That Local Monero and Agora Desk Have Shut Down

Since the closing of Local Monero and Agora Desk, a frequent request on our Monero Forum has been how they can safely and anonymously get Monero (XMR) now.

The answer is to purchase another cryptocurrency, and then convert it to Monero using an instant, no-KYC crypto exchange. Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), and several other coins can be purchased easily at many centralized exchanges, Bitcoin ATMs, and various other ways. A user can purchase one of these coins attached to their identity, and then become anonymous by converting them to XMR.

Users should get one of the recommended Monero wallets, preferably Feather Wallet. Then refer to our constantly updated list of anonymous Monero exchanges, and pick one to use for their trade.

For more detailed help with these exchanges, please refer to our guides How to Exchange Crypto with eXch, and How to Exchange Crypto with XChange
