ATOM → XLM: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging ATOM for XLM 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. Stellar (XLM) is a network for international payments and tokenised currencies with sub-cent fees.
Why swap ATOM for XLM
Shifting between ATOM and XLM is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. Stellar was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send ATOM | You receive XLM | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Cosmos Hub | Stellar |
| Address | “cosmos1…” | “G…”, 56 characters |
| Network speed | a block comes every 6 seconds | a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Required, from the order | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- When sending ATOM, paste the memo from the order; staked coins take 21 days to unbond.
- A new Stellar account is activated only after it receives 1 XLM.
- When sending ATOM, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- If you’re receiving XLM to an exchange address, be sure to enter that exchange’s memo.
- 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 Stellar, a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds. The whole ATOM to XLM swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
