XLM → SOL: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Stellar to Solana 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.
Stellar (XLM) is a network for international payments and tokenised currencies with sub-cent fees. Solana (SOL) is a high-speed blockchain with sub-cent fees, popular in DeFi and NFTs.
Why swap XLM for SOL
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding SOL makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Solana ecosystem. With SOL you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Solana network.
Networks and addresses
| You send XLM | You receive SOL | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Stellar | Solana |
| Address | “G…”, 56 characters | 32–44 base58 characters |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds | a transfer confirms in a few 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.
- Phantom, Solflare or any Solana wallet works for receiving SOL.
- When sending XLM, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- 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 Stellar, a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds; on Solana, a transfer confirms in a few seconds. The whole XLM to SOL swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 SOL = 539.796325 XLM and the minimum amount is 117.647059 XLM. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
