ATOM → ETH: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging ATOM for ETH is useful when you rebalance a portfolio or want to move from one network to another without buying stablecoins in between. At ROVEN exchange the coins are swapped directly, and the rate is locked when you create the order.
Cosmos (ATOM) is the coin of the Cosmos Hub, the centre of an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains. Ethereum (ETH) is the leading platform for smart contracts, DeFi and ERC20 tokens.
Why swap ATOM for ETH
Shifting between ATOM and ETH is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With ETH you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Ethereum (ERC20) network.
Networks and addresses
| You send ATOM | You receive ETH | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Cosmos Hub | Ethereum (ERC20) |
| Address | “cosmos1…” | “0x” + 40 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes every 6 seconds | a block comes every 12 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Required, from the order | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- When sending ATOM, paste the memo from the order; staked coins take 21 days to unbond.
- An ETH address starts with “0x”; BNB Smart Chain and Polygon use the same format, so check your wallet’s network.
- When sending ATOM, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send ATOM within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Cosmos Hub, a block comes every 6 seconds; on Ethereum (ERC20), a block comes every 12 seconds. The whole ATOM to ETH swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps ATOM for ETH at 1 ETH = 1 379.14 ATOM, with a minimum of 12.5 ATOM. Fill in the form above: no sign-up is needed, and you can track the order status online.
