Swapping Toncoin for Stellar: what you need to know
To switch from Toncoin to Stellar 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. Stellar (XLM) is a network for international payments and tokenised currencies with sub-cent fees.
Why swap TON for XLM
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding XLM makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Stellar ecosystem. Stellar was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send TON | You receive XLM | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | TON | Stellar |
| Address | “UQ…” or “EQ…” | “G…”, 56 characters |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in a few seconds | a transfer confirms in 5–6 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.
- A new Stellar account is activated only after it receives 1 XLM.
- When sending TON, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- If you’re receiving XLM 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 Stellar, a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds. The whole TON to XLM swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 TON = 10.023866 XLM 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.
