How the swap works
-
Type the ETH 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 ETH to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Ethereum deposits usually confirm within a few blocks (about 12 seconds each).
- When gas spikes, the send costs more, but inclusion is still typically fast.
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet only β not BSC, Base, or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- 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.
Ethereum β smart-contract base layer
ETH is the gas and settlement asset of Ethereum mainnet β staking, DeFi, and most contract activity run here.
Send ETH on the listed chain
Use an Ethereum mainnet wallet for deposits. L2 or alternate-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
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 ETH to ADA require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Ethereum to Cardano.
How long until ADA arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Ethereum mainnet deposit confirmations and Cardano mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ETH or ADA for me?
No. You send ETH 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 ETH on the wrong chain?
Use Ethereum mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
