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.

ADA to DRIFT: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap ADA to DRIFT on GhostSwap?
Most ADA to DRIFT 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 DRIFT is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ADA to DRIFT?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Solana address that should receive the DRIFT, send ADA from your own wallet, and the DRIFT goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Cardano to Drift?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DRIFT 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 DRIFT?
To receive Drift from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DRIFT address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the DRIFT address?
Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending DRIFT to an address on another network can lose the coins.
Can I track my ADA to DRIFT 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 DRIFT on Solscan (https://solscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange ADA for DRIFT on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ADA deposit is converted and the DRIFT is sent straight to the Solana address you enter, so check that address twice, Solana transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain ADA to DRIFT swap work?
Cardano lives on Cardano and Drift on Solana, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ADA on Cardano and pays native DRIFT on Solana, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ADA to DRIFT 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.
