XTZ → BTC: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging XTZ for BTC 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.
Tezos (XTZ) is a smart contract blockchain that upgrades through holder votes, without hard forks. Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and largest cryptocurrency, with a capped supply of 21 million coins.
Why swap XTZ for BTC
Shifting between XTZ and BTC is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. Bitcoin is most often bought for long-term holding as “digital gold”.
Networks and addresses
| You send XTZ | You receive BTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Tezos | Bitcoin |
| Address | “tz1…”–“tz4…” | “bc1…”, “1…” or “3…” |
| Network speed | a block comes every few seconds | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Delegated XTZ isn’t locked — you can send it at any time.
- A Bitcoin address starts with “bc1”, “1” or “3” — don’t confuse it with a Bitcoin Cash address.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send XTZ within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
