How the swap works
-
Type the ADA amount and paste your Dai payout address on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast ADA to that deposit. After the required confirmations, DAI 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 — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
- If DAI 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 — research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano — 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.
Dai on Ethereum
Credit DAI only on ERC-20 on Ethereum. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
When DAI arrives
Set your wallet to ERC-20 on Ethereum.
If the order already lists a payout tx, wait a few minutes and resync before contacting support.

Frequently asked questions
Does ADA to DAI require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Cardano to Dai.
How long until DAI arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Cardano mainnet deposit confirmations and ERC-20 on Ethereum payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ADA or DAI for me?
No. You send ADA from a wallet you control and DAI is paid to the address you provide — 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 — read the swap safety notes first.
