How to exchange TON for ATOM safely and at a good rate
To switch from Toncoin to Cosmos Hub 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. Cosmos (ATOM) is the coin of the Cosmos Hub, the centre of an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains.
Why swap TON for ATOM
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding ATOM makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Cosmos Hub ecosystem. With ATOM you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Cosmos Hub network.
Networks and addresses
| You send TON | You receive ATOM | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | TON | Cosmos Hub |
| Address | “UQ…” or “EQ…” | “cosmos1…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in a few seconds | a block comes every 6 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Required, from the order | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- When sending TON, paste the comment (memo) from the order — without it the payment won’t be matched automatically.
- The address must start with “cosmos1”, not the prefix of another Cosmos network.
- When sending TON, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- If you’re receiving ATOM 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 TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds; on Cosmos Hub, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole TON to ATOM swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 TON = 1.083172 ATOM 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.
