Swapping XRP for Toncoin: what you need to know
To switch from XRP to Toncoin 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.
XRP is the coin of the XRP Ledger, built for fast international payments between banks and people. Toncoin (TON) is the coin of the TON blockchain, closely tied to Telegram and its built-in wallet.
Why swap XRP for TON
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding TON makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the TON ecosystem. With TON you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the TON network.
Networks and addresses
| You send XRP | You receive TON | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | XRP Ledger | TON |
| Address | “r…”, 25–35 characters | “UQ…” or “EQ…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in 3–5 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 XRP, be sure to include the destination tag from the order.
- A TON address starts with “UQ” or “EQ”; Tonkeeper or the wallet in Telegram both work.
- When sending XRP, 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.
- 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 XRP Ledger, a transfer confirms in 3–5 seconds; on TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds. The whole XRP to TON swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 XRP = 0.821231 TON and the minimum amount is 15.384615 XRP. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
