XLM → XRP: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Stellar to XRP 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. XRP is the coin of the XRP Ledger, built for fast international payments between banks and people.
Why swap XLM for XRP
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding XRP makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the XRP Ledger ecosystem. XRP was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send XLM | You receive XRP | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Stellar | XRP Ledger |
| Address | “G…”, 56 characters | “r…”, 25–35 characters |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in 5–6 seconds | a transfer confirms in 3–5 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 new XRP address is activated only after it receives the 1 XRP reserve.
- When sending XLM, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- If you’re receiving XRP to an exchange address, be sure to enter that exchange’s memo.
- 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 XRP Ledger, a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds. The whole XLM to XRP swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 XLM = 0.141076 XRP 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.
