About Ravencoin (RVN)

Layer-1 blockchain

Ravencoin (RVN) is a Layer-1 blockchain — a base network with its own consensus, validators, and native coin (RVN) used to pay fees and secure the chain. Developers build applications directly on it, and RVN is the asset that powers the whole ecosystem.

How does Ravencoin work?

The Ravencoin network is maintained by a distributed set of participants who validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. RVN is required to pay for transactions and, on many networks, to stake and help secure the chain in exchange for rewards.

What is RVN used for?

RVN pays network fees, can often be staked for yield, and serves as the core unit of value across apps built on Ravencoin. Demand for RVN tends to track activity and adoption on the network itself.

How a RVN swap works

Enter the amount you want to exchange, pick the asset on the other side, and SwapRocket queries every connected exchange partner at once. You choose an offer, paste the wallet address that should receive the funds, and send RVN to the deposit address shown. The partner executes the trade and pays out to your address — SwapRocket never holds your coins, and there is no account to create before you start.

Choosing a rate for RVN

Three offers are presented for every RVN exchange. The best rate returns the largest amount for the size you entered. The fastest route favours the partner with the shortest expected settlement time, which matters when the market is moving. The fixed rate locks the quoted amount for the duration of the order, so what you are shown is what arrives, at the cost of a slightly smaller payout. Floating offers can move with the market between deposit and settlement.

Networks and addresses for RVN

Ravencoin settles on Ravencoin. Always send from and to an address on that network: a deposit sent over a different chain cannot be recovered by the exchange partner. When an asset exists on several chains, pick the matching network in the widget before copying the deposit address, and send a small test amount first if you are unsure.

Swap Bitcoin to Ravencoin

What is RVN? · Sourced guide · Updated 2026-09-28 · 11 sources cited

Bitcoin proved a blockchain can move one asset well. What if a blockchain were redesigned so that anyone could create and transfer their own assets — shares, tickets, gift cards, deeds — with the same security model? That is the question Ravencoin answers.

Ravencoin is a peer-to-peer blockchain built from a fork of Bitcoin's code, with features added specifically for issuing and transferring tokens. Its official site describes a chain where anyone can create a named, limited-quantity asset in minutes and have it trade worldwide. RVN is the chain's native coin, mined under the KAWPOW algorithm. This profile uses Ravencoin's official site and whitepaper page.

Bitcoin's code, repurposed for assets

Ravencoin's official site is direct about its lineage: it is a protocol based on a fork of the Bitcoin code, with features added specifically for issuing tokens on the Ravencoin blockchain. Those tokens can have whatever properties their issuer decides — limited in quantity, named, and issued as securities or as collectibles.

The design goal is narrow and stated plainly: the efficient creation and transfer of assets from one party to another. Rather than a general smart-contract platform, Ravencoin is a single-purpose chain whose purpose is asset issuance and transfer.^{[2], [1]}

What people can issue

The site lists concrete categories. A token can represent a share of a project; virtual goods such as event tickets — with the ability to resell without duplicates — licences, access tokens and in-game items; real-world custodied assets such as gold bars, land deeds or physical currency; securities tokens representing stock, with the built-in ability to pay dividends in RVN; and credits such as gift cards, airline miles and reward points.

The common thread is that the issuer defines what the token means, and the chain enforces its supply and ownership. The site's promise is that you can make your own security token within minutes and have it trade worldwide.^{[3], [4], [5], [6]}

How it differs from Bitcoin

The site lists the deliberate changes. The block reward is 5,000 RVN instead of 50 BTC. Blocks arrive every minute instead of every ten. The total supply is 21 billion instead of 21 million. The mining algorithm is KAWPOW, chosen to allow more decentralised mining. And the chain adds asset and sub-asset issuance, transfer, unique assets and rewards, with messaging and voting listed as future additions.

Each change serves the asset purpose: faster blocks suit transfers, the larger supply suits a coin used to issue and reward, and ASIC-resistant mining keeps issuance in the hands of ordinary hardware owners.^{[7], [8]}

An open, documented project

Ravencoin's whitepaper page publishes the founding documents by Bruce Fenton, Tron Black and Joel Weight, including the main whitepaper — Ravencoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic System for the Creation and Transfer of Assets — and the X16R algorithm paper, ASIC Resistant by Design, along with a development roadmap. The site notes the project is released under the MIT licence.

The ecosystem around it is community-run: the site links to community-maintained block and asset explorers, mining pools, a node map and community channels. There is no company portal behind the chain.^{[9], [10], [11]}

Where RVN fits

RVN is the chain's native coin. It is the mining reward that keeps the network running, the unit in which dividends can be paid to asset holders, and the asset that changes hands when people value the chain's issuance capability.

Holding RVN is therefore a position on the usefulness of a single-purpose asset chain: its role grows with the amount of issuance and transfer activity the chain attracts, which anyone can observe on the public asset explorers the site links to.^{[7], [5]}

When messaging and voting arrive

The site lists messaging and voting as future additions to the protocol. Their delivery timeline is UNKNOWN from official sources at the time of writing.

It is not predicted here.^[7]

What this means when you hold or move RVN

RVN is its own blockchain, not a token on another chain, so a receiving wallet must specifically support Ravencoin. Before confirming a swap, check that your wallet is a Ravencoin wallet, and keep your transaction ID until delivery so you can trace it on a Ravencoin explorer.

Issuing an asset on Ravencoin is a separate action done in a Ravencoin wallet and costs RVN; it is not part of a swap and is optional.

RVN swap FAQ

How do I swap Ravencoin (RVN) instantly on SwapRocket?

Pick RVN as the asset you want to receive, choose what you're paying with, paste your wallet address, and confirm. SwapRocket hands your order to the provider whose quote pays out the most at that moment, and most swaps complete in under 10 minutes — no SwapRocket account needed.

Can I swap RVN with no KYC?

No SwapRocket account or identity documents are needed to start a crypto-to-crypto swap of RVN. The provider that executes the swap may still request identity verification or hold a swap for review under its own AML and sanctions policy, regardless of amount. Selling to a bank account goes through a regulated payment partner that verifies the payer; card purchases on SwapRocket are coming soon.

Is swapping Ravencoin on SwapRocket non-custodial?

Yes. SwapRocket never holds your funds. The provider that executes the swap receives your deposit, holds it only for the duration of the swap, and sends RVN to the wallet address you provide.

Which network does RVN use here?

SwapRocket supports Ravencoin on the Ravencoin network. Always double-check that your receiving wallet supports this network before confirming.

What fees apply when I swap RVN?

SwapRocket adds no fee or markup to the provider's quote and may earn a commission from the provider on a completed swap. The provider's spread and any network cost it deducts on delivery are already reflected in the RVN amount shown; the network fee your own wallet charges to send the deposit is separate. Spreads vary by provider, pair and size, so compare the quoted receive amount.
