How the swap works
-
Type the ADA amount and paste your Bitcoin Cash payout address on Bitcoin Cash mainnet.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast ADA to that deposit. After the required confirmations, BCH is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
- Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address β legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
- If BCH has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
Cardano β research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano β a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.
Sending ADA
Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.
Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.
Bitcoin Cash
Credit BCH only on Bitcoin Cash mainnet. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
When BCH arrives
Set your wallet to Bitcoin Cash mainnet.
If the order already lists a payout tx, wait a few minutes and resync before contacting support.

Frequently asked questions
Does ADA to BCH require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Cardano to Bitcoin Cash.
How long until BCH arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Cardano mainnet deposit confirmations and Bitcoin Cash mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ADA or BCH for me?
No. You send ADA from a wallet you control and BCH is paid to the address you provide β PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send ADA on the wrong chain?
Use Cardano mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
