    How the swap works

    1. Type the BTC amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.

    2. Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.

    3. Broadcast BTC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet.

    Check these before you send

    • A single network confirmation is typically enough to start the payout.
    • How long BTC takes to confirm tracks mempool load and the fee on your send.
    • SegWit deposit addresses keep fees lower. If your wallet cannot send to SegWit, contact support before you broadcast.
    • 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 β€” the base layer of crypto

    Since 2009 Bitcoin has been the reference asset β€” deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the usual starting point for cross-chain routes.

    BTC deposit checklist

    • Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
    • Leave enough for a network fee β€” low fees mean slower confirmation.
    • Broadcast only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the deposit shown on your order.

    How long does a BTC deposit take?

    Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.

    • Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
    • Explorers show queue position β€” compare against pending transaction volume.
    • Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.

    Why traders move BTC to other chains

    Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition β€” many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.

    Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.

    You receive

    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.
