USDT BEP20 → ATOM: swap details at ROVEN exchange
If you hold USDT BEP20 and want Cosmos Hub, you don’t need an exchange account. At ROVEN exchange the swap takes a few minutes: you see the final amount in advance, and an operator checks every order by hand.
USDT BEP20 is the Tether stablecoin on BNB Smart Chain, with fast and cheap transfers. Cosmos (ATOM) is the coin of the Cosmos Hub, the centre of an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains.
Why swap USDT BEP20 for ATOM
A stablecoin is a handy way to hold dollars, but to benefit from market growth or use the Cosmos Hub network you need ATOM itself. With ATOM you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Cosmos Hub network.
Networks and addresses
| You send USDT BEP20 | You receive ATOM | |

What to watch out for
- Send USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), not Ethereum — the addresses look identical.
- 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.
- To send USDT your wallet needs some BNB to pay the network fee.
- Send the exact amount from the order and do it within 30 minutes, while the locked rate is valid.
