Swapping Zcash for Toncoin: what you need to know
Exchanging ZEC 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.
Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency with optional privacy based on zero-knowledge proofs. Toncoin (TON) is the coin of the TON blockchain, closely tied to Telegram and its built-in wallet.
Why swap ZEC for TON
Shifting between ZEC 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 ZEC | You receive TON | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Zcash | TON |
| Address | “t1…” or “t3…” | “UQ…” or “EQ…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 75 seconds | a transfer confirms in a few seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Only for an exchange address |
What to watch out for
- Send ZEC from a transparent address, or move it out of the shielded pool in advance.
- A TON address starts with “UQ” or “EQ”; Tonkeeper or the wallet in Telegram both work.
- 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 ZEC 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 Zcash, a block comes roughly every 75 seconds; on TON, a transfer confirms in a few seconds. The whole ZEC to TON swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
