How the swap works
-
Type the SOL 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 SOL to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Solana confirmations are typically fast β often under a minute in practice.
- Network outages or congestion can occasionally delay inclusion β check status if stuck.
- Use a Solana mainnet address (base58). Do not send SPL tokens unless the order specifies a token mint.
- 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.
Solana β fast L1 transfers
SOL is Solana's native token β built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large on-chain app set.
SOL deposit notes
Send native SOL on Solana mainnet. Token deposits require the exact asset your order lists.
Keep a small SOL balance for rent-exempt account requirements in some wallets.
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 SOL to ADA require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Solana to Cardano.
How long until ADA arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Solana mainnet deposit confirmations and Cardano mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold SOL or ADA for me?
No. You send SOL 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 SOL on the wrong chain?
Use Solana mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
