XLM → ATOM: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging XLM for ATOM 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.
Stellar (XLM) is a network for international payments and tokenised currencies with sub-cent fees. Cosmos (ATOM) is the coin of the Cosmos Hub, the centre of an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains.
Why swap XLM for ATOM
Shifting between XLM and ATOM is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With ATOM you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Cosmos Hub network.
Networks and addresses
| You send XLM | You receive ATOM | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Stellar | Cosmos Hub |
| Address | “G…”, 56 characters | “cosmos1…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in 5–6 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 XLM, paste the memo from the order — that’s how the payment is matched automatically.
- The address must start with “cosmos1”, not the prefix of another Cosmos network.
- When sending XLM, 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.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send XLM 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 Stellar, a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds; on Cosmos Hub, a block comes every 6 seconds. The whole XLM to ATOM swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
