XLM → ETH: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging XLM for ETH 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. Ethereum (ETH) is the leading platform for smart contracts, DeFi and ERC20 tokens.
Why swap XLM for ETH
Shifting between XLM and ETH is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With ETH you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Ethereum (ERC20) network.
Networks and addresses
| You send XLM | You receive ETH | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Stellar | Ethereum (ERC20) |
| Address | “G…”, 56 characters | “0x” + 40 characters |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds | a block comes every 12 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Required, from the order | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- When sending XLM, paste the memo from the order — that’s how the payment is matched automatically.
- An ETH address starts with “0x”; BNB Smart Chain and Polygon use the same format, so check your wallet’s network.
- When sending XLM, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- 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 Ethereum (ERC20), a block comes every 12 seconds. The whole XLM to ETH swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps XLM for ETH at 1 ETH = 12 691.62 XLM, with a minimum of 117.647059 XLM. Fill in the form above: no sign-up is needed, and you can track the order status online.
