ATOM → XTZ: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging ATOM for XTZ 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. Tezos (XTZ) is a smart contract blockchain that upgrades through holder votes, without hard forks.
Why swap ATOM for XTZ
Shifting between ATOM and XTZ is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With XTZ you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Tezos network.
Networks and addresses
| You send ATOM | You receive XTZ | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Cosmos Hub | Tezos |
| Address | “cosmos1…” | “tz1…”–“tz4…” |
| Network speed | a block comes every 6 seconds | a block comes every few 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.
- Enter a regular “tz…” address, not a “KT1…” smart contract address.
- 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 Tezos, a block comes every few seconds. The whole ATOM to XTZ swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
