Bridge Monero on Solana
Steward’s opt-inwxmr provider prepares bridge handoffs in both directions at
wxmr.io: native Monero to Monero on Solana, and Monero on
Solana back to native Monero.
For routine Steward activity, Monero on Solana is often the more practical side
of the bridge: XMR-denominated liquidity remains available to Solana wallets and
applications. Choose native Monero when Monero-native transaction privacy is the
priority.
Enable the provider
Addwxmr to the API’s comma-separated plugin list:
STEWARD_PLUGINS=trading,wxmr. WXMR_SOLANA_RPC_URL falls back to
SOLANA_RPC_URL, then Solana’s public mainnet endpoint.
Steward network and token identifiers
Bridge amounts are base-unit decimal strings. Both assets use 12 decimals, so
1000000000000 represents 1 XMR. The audited bridge-program minimum is 0.1 XMR
(100000000000 atomic units) in either direction.
Monero to Solana
The recipient is the Solana wallet that will connect to wxmr.io and receive the token. Pass that same address asowner when requesting the handoff.
Solana to Monero
For the reverse direction,owner is the Solana wallet holding the token and
recipient is the native Monero mainnet address. Steward validates the Monero
address but does not include it in bridge audit metadata.
What the handoff guarantees
Before returning the wxmr.io URL, Steward:- validates the exact chain direction, token mint, amount, and recipient format;
- checks the bridge’s global fee and the connected wallet’s override together at one Solana slot for Solana-to-Monero;
- derives an XMR/USD notional from fresh Kraken and CoinGecko native-XMR prices, fails closed if either source is unavailable or they disagree materially, and uses the higher value for policy enforcement so a caller-supplied estimate cannot reduce the checked value; and
- returns an explicit
external-handoffobject with no calldata, serialized transaction, signature, deposit address, or claimed settlement state.
owner Solana
wallet. Steward authorizes the handoff, but it cannot enforce policy after the
user leaves Steward or independently verify completion at the external site.
The wxmr handoff is independent of Steward’s native Monero vault support: it
never selects or spends a Steward Monero wallet automatically.
Because completion is not observable, the external transfer is not added to
Steward’s daily spend counter. The check authorizes only the handoff response; it
is not vault-layer enforcement of what happens at wxmr.io.
The URL does not prefill or execute a transfer; confirm the quoted amount and
recipient again in wxmr.io’s interactive flow.
Review the live minimum, final fee, required confirmations, destination, and
settlement status at wxmr.io before approving anything. A Solana-to-Monero
quote’s output uses the global fee and its generic
minAmountOut is therefore
zero; the build handoff reports the connected wallet’s observed fee as
owner-observed. Recheck it at wxmr.io because on-chain settings can change
after Steward’s observation.
