Swapping Toncoin for Polkadot: what you need to know
Exchanging TON for DOT 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.
Toncoin (TON) is the coin of the TON blockchain, closely tied to Telegram and its built-in wallet. Polkadot (DOT) is Gavin Wood’s network that unites many parachain blockchains under shared security.
Why swap TON for DOT
Shifting between TON and DOT is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With DOT you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Polkadot network.
Networks and addresses
| You send TON | You receive DOT | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | TON | Polkadot |
| Address | “UQ…” or “EQ…” | starts with “1” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in a few seconds | a block comes every 6 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 new Polkadot address must receive at least 1 DOT, the account’s minimum balance.
- When sending TON, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send TON 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 TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds; on Polkadot, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole TON to DOT swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
