Swapping Dash for Cosmos Hub: what you need to know
Exchanging DASH for ATOM 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.
Dash (DASH) is “digital cash” with masternodes and instant InstantSend payment locking. Cosmos (ATOM) is the coin of the Cosmos Hub, the centre of an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains.
Why swap DASH for ATOM
Shifting between DASH and ATOM is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With ATOM you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Cosmos Hub network.
Networks and addresses
| You send DASH | You receive ATOM | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Dash | Cosmos Hub |
| Address | “X…” or “7…” | “cosmos1…” |
| Network speed | InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds | a block comes every 6 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- Send DASH on the Dash network only; CoinJoin isn’t needed for a swap.
- The address must start with “cosmos1”, not the prefix of another Cosmos network.
- If you’re receiving ATOM to an exchange address, be sure to enter that exchange’s memo.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send DASH 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 Dash, InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds; on Cosmos Hub, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole DASH to ATOM swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps DASH for ATOM at 1 DASH = 32.635135 ATOM, with a minimum of 0.377358 DASH. Fill in the form above: no sign-up is needed, and you can track the order status online.
