ADA

What is Cardano?

Cardano (ADA) is a third-generation blockchain platform built on peer-reviewed research and formal verification methods. Developed by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano takes a methodical, academic approach to solving blockchain scalability, interoperability, and sustainability. ADA is used for staking, governance voting, and paying transaction fees on the network. Cardano's Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol is one of the most energy-efficient in the industry. The platform supports smart contracts through Plutus and continues to expand its DeFi and real-world application ecosystem.

DOT

What is Polkadot?

Polkadot (DOT) is a multi-chain protocol that connects different blockchains into a unified network, enabling them to communicate and share data securely. Founded by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, Polkadot uses a unique relay chain architecture with specialized parachains that can be optimized for different use cases. DOT tokens are used for governance, staking, and bonding parachains to the network. Polkadot's vision of an interoperable blockchain ecosystem addresses one of crypto's biggest challenges — fragmented liquidity and isolated chains.

ADA to DOT: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging ADA to DOT on GhostSwap.

How long does it take to swap ADA to DOT on GhostSwap?
Most ADA to DOT swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ADA deposit needs a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds) to confirm on Cardano, then the DOT is sent to your wallet, and Polkadot confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
How much is 1 ADA in DOT?
1 ADA is worth about 0.197155 DOT at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 19 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the DOT network fee. The rate floats with the market until your ADA deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ADA to DOT?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Polkadot address that should receive the DOT, send ADA from your own wallet, and the DOT goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Cardano to Polkadot?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DOT amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Cardano network fee for your deposit is paid in ADA by your wallet.
What wallet should I use to receive DOT?
To receive Polkadot from your swap, we recommend using Nova Wallet, Talisman or SubWallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Polkadot network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DOT address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the DOT address?
Use a Polkadot address: it starts with 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.
Can I track my ADA to DOT swap?
Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your ADA payment on Cardanoscan (https://cardanoscan.io) and your incoming DOT on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange ADA for DOT on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ADA deposit is converted and the DOT is sent straight to the Polkadot address you enter, so check that address twice, Polkadot transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain ADA to DOT swap work?
Cardano lives on Cardano and Polkadot on Polkadot, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ADA on Cardano and pays native DOT on Polkadot, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ADA to DOT exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the ADA is refunded to the Cardano address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
