BCH → XTZ: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Bitcoin Cash to Tezos you don’t need to sell for dollars first and then buy again. ROVEN exchange does it in one step: one order, one rate, one payout.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a 2017 fork of Bitcoin with bigger blocks and fees of a fraction of a cent. Tezos (XTZ) is a smart contract blockchain that upgrades through holder votes, without hard forks.
Why swap BCH for XTZ
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding XTZ makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Tezos ecosystem. With XTZ you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Tezos network.
Networks and addresses
| You send BCH | You receive XTZ | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Bitcoin Cash | Tezos |
| Address | “q…” or “bitcoincash:q…” | “tz1…”–“tz4…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes | a block comes every few seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Don’t send BCH from a Bitcoin wallet or vice versa — they’re different networks.
- Enter a regular “tz…” address, not a “KT1…” smart contract address.
- Send the exact amount from the order and do it within 30 minutes, while the locked rate is valid.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Bitcoin Cash, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes; on Tezos, a block comes every few seconds. The whole BCH to XTZ swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 BCH = 1 194.11 XTZ and the minimum amount is 0.066667 BCH. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
