How to exchange XLM for TON safely and at a good rate
Exchanging XLM for TON 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. Toncoin (TON) is the coin of the TON blockchain, closely tied to Telegram and its built-in wallet.
Why swap XLM for TON
Shifting between XLM and TON is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With TON you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the TON network.
Networks and addresses
| You send XLM | You receive TON | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Stellar | TON |
| Address | “G…”, 56 characters | “UQ…” or “EQ…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds | a transfer confirms in a few 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.
- A TON address starts with “UQ” or “EQ”; Tonkeeper or the wallet in Telegram both work.
- When sending XLM, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- If you’re receiving TON 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 TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds. The whole XLM to TON swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
