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.

OP

What is Optimism?

Optimism (OP) is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses optimistic rollups to make transactions faster and significantly cheaper than on Ethereum mainnet. Optimism is known for its retroactive public goods funding model, which directs network revenue toward open-source projects that benefit the ecosystem. OP is the governance token used for voting on protocol decisions and treasury allocation. Major DeFi protocols including Aave, Uniswap, and Synthetix are deployed on Optimism.

ADA to OP: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap ADA to OP on GhostSwap?
Most ADA to OP 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 OP is sent to your wallet, and OP Mainnet confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
How much is 1 ADA in OP?
1 ADA is worth about 2.0620 OP at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the OP 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 OP?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the OP Mainnet address that should receive the OP, send ADA from your own wallet, and the OP goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Cardano to Optimism?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the OP 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 OP?
To receive Optimism from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the OP Mainnet (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your OP address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the OP address?
Use an OP Mainnet address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending OP to an address on another network can lose the coins.
Can I track my ADA to OP 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 OP on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange ADA for OP on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ADA deposit is converted and the OP is sent straight to the OP Mainnet address you enter, so check that address twice, OP Mainnet transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain ADA to OP swap work?
Cardano lives on Cardano and Optimism on OP Mainnet, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ADA on Cardano and pays native OP on OP Mainnet, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ADA to OP 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.
