How to exchange SOL for ATOM safely and at a good rate
Exchanging SOL 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.
Solana (SOL) is a high-speed blockchain with sub-cent fees, popular in DeFi and NFTs. Cosmos (ATOM) is the coin of the Cosmos Hub, the centre of an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains.
Why swap SOL for ATOM
Shifting between SOL 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 SOL | You receive ATOM | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Solana | Cosmos Hub |
| Address | 32–44 base58 characters | “cosmos1…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in a few seconds | a block comes every 6 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- Send SOL on Solana mainnet, not wrapped SOL on other blockchains.
- 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 SOL 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 Solana, a transfer confirms in a few seconds; on Cosmos Hub, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole SOL to ATOM swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps SOL for ATOM at 1 SOL = 64.777027 ATOM, with a minimum of 0.2 SOL. Fill in the form above: no sign-up is needed, and you can track the order status online.
