How the swap works
-
Type the BCH amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast BCH to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Payout starts after Bitcoin Cash mainnet has enough confirmations.
- If a deposit sits unconfirmed, check chain status β congestion can slow inclusion.
- Broadcast only BCH on Bitcoin Cash mainnet to the deposit shown on your order.
- If ADA 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.
Bitcoin Cash
Credit BCH only on Bitcoin Cash mainnet. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
Deposit checklist
Open a wallet that can send on Bitcoin Cash mainnet.
The wallet network must match the deposit network printed on the order.
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.
ADA payout delays
Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.
When will ADA arrive?
Cardano block times are around 20 seconds β payouts typically follow within several blocks.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
- Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.

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