Swapping Toncoin for Cardano: what you need to know
To switch from Toncoin to Cardano 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.
Toncoin (TON) is the coin of the TON blockchain, closely tied to Telegram and its built-in wallet. Cardano (ADA) is a blockchain with a research-driven approach and staking that doesn’t lock your coins.
Why swap TON for ADA
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding ADA makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Cardano ecosystem. With ADA you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Cardano network.
Networks and addresses
| You send TON | You receive ADA | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | TON | Cardano |
| Address | “UQ…” or “EQ…” | “addr1…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in a few seconds | a block comes roughly every 20 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Required, from the order | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- When sending TON, paste the comment (memo) from the order — without it the payment won’t be matched automatically.
- A Cardano address starts with “addr1”; it’s best to avoid legacy Byron addresses.
- When sending TON, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- 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 TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds; on Cardano, a block comes roughly every 20 seconds. The whole TON to ADA swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 TON = 8.673206 ADA and the minimum amount is 6.666667 TON. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
