How to exchange BCH for TON safely and at a good rate
Exchanging BCH for TON 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.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a 2017 fork of Bitcoin with bigger blocks and fees of a fraction of a cent. Toncoin (TON) is the coin of the TON blockchain, closely tied to Telegram and its built-in wallet.
Why swap BCH for TON
Shifting between BCH and TON is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With TON you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the TON network.
Networks and addresses
| You send BCH | You receive TON | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Bitcoin Cash | TON |
| Address | “q…” or “bitcoincash:q…” | “UQ…” or “EQ…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes | a transfer confirms in a few seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- Don’t send BCH from a Bitcoin wallet or vice versa — they’re different networks.
- A TON address starts with “UQ” or “EQ”; Tonkeeper or the wallet in Telegram both work.
- If you’re receiving TON to an exchange address, be sure to enter that exchange’s memo.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send BCH 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 Bitcoin Cash, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes; on TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds. The whole BCH to TON swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
