How to exchange BTC for DASH safely and at a good rate
Exchanging BTC for DASH 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 (BTC) is the first and largest cryptocurrency, with a capped supply of 21 million coins. Dash (DASH) is “digital cash” with masternodes and instant InstantSend payment locking.
Why swap BTC for DASH
Shifting between BTC and DASH is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. Dash was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send BTC | You receive DASH | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Bitcoin | Dash |
| Address | “bc1…”, “1…” or “3…” | “X…” or “7…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes | InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- When sending BTC, set a normal network fee: with a low fee the transfer can get stuck for hours.
- A Dash address starts with “X”; don’t confuse it with Bitcoin or Litecoin addresses.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send BTC 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, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes; on Dash, InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds. The whole BTC to DASH swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
