Swapping Ethereum for Toncoin: what you need to know
To switch from Ethereum to Toncoin 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.
Ethereum (ETH) is the leading platform for smart contracts, DeFi and ERC20 tokens. Toncoin (TON) is the coin of the TON blockchain, closely tied to Telegram and its built-in wallet.
Why swap ETH for TON
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding TON makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the TON ecosystem. With TON you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the TON network.
Networks and addresses
| You send ETH | You receive TON | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Ethereum (ERC20) | TON |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | “UQ…” or “EQ…” |
| Network speed | a block comes every 12 seconds | a transfer confirms in a few seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet, not on Arbitrum, Base or other layer-2 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.
- 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 Ethereum (ERC20), a block comes every 12 seconds; on TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds. The whole ETH to TON swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 ETH = 1 468.8 TON and the minimum amount is 0.02 ETH. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
