Saberhagen The Nameless5d agoYea admittedly the UX for this stuff isn't quite there yet if you're used to exchanges. Trocador might be the easiest, quickest, and cheapest to use among these, but you're trusting a single swap provider not to freeze your funds during the swap (although they rate the chance of that happening for each swap provider). Eigen is probably the most trustless method followed by bisq/retoswap/robosats (because it's a multisig so you're relying on cooperation from arbitrators if something happens). Never had a problem with any of them myself though.
Here is the latest news about Thorchain adding XMR from a few days ago. Basically they're hoping to get it out sometime in 2026 but it's privacy properties and multisig makes it a little more complicated than other blockchains to implement:

arfonzo5d agoThanks for that extra advice, I did look at Trocador after a few of you folks recommended it. I like how you get a choice of backend providers, but also the cheapest and fastest route was rated "C", so yeah, I get that it's a bit of a gamble as well.
I'll take another look at robosats and others when I have some more time!
I think if Thorchain came out with XMR support that'd be one of the easiest and quickest routes, however they do get a lot of criticism for being a funnel for criminal assets. Whenever platforms are exploited or rugged, it often goes via Thor. That may cause them some extra pain when implementing XMR as it would be a natural avenue for asset laundering on a larger scale.
