XRP → ADA: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging XRP for ADA 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.
XRP is the coin of the XRP Ledger, built for fast international payments between banks and people. Cardano (ADA) is a blockchain with a research-driven approach and staking that doesn’t lock your coins.
Why swap XRP for ADA
Shifting between XRP and ADA is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. With ADA you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Cardano network.
Networks and addresses
| You send XRP | You receive ADA | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | XRP Ledger | Cardano |
| Address | “r…”, 25–35 characters | “addr1…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds | a block comes roughly every 20 seconds |
| Memo / tag | Required, from the order | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- When sending XRP, be sure to include the destination tag from the order.
- A Cardano address starts with “addr1”; it’s best to avoid legacy Byron addresses.
- When sending XRP, include the memo from the order, or the payment will have to be traced manually.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send XRP 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 XRP Ledger, a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds; on Cardano, a block comes roughly every 20 seconds. The whole XRP to ADA swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps XRP for ADA at 1 XRP = 6.783824 ADA, with a minimum of 15.384615 XRP. Fill in the form above: no sign-up is needed, and you can track the order status online.
