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.

XLM

What is Stellar?

Stellar (XLM) is an open-source blockchain network designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset tokenization. Founded by Jed McCaleb (co-founder of Ripple), Stellar focuses on connecting financial institutions and making money transfers accessible to the unbanked. Transactions on Stellar settle in 3-5 seconds with fees under $0.01, making it one of the most efficient payment networks available. XLM is the native currency used for transaction fees and as a bridge between different currencies.

ADA to XLM: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap ADA to XLM on GhostSwap?
Most ADA to XLM 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 XLM is sent to your wallet, and Stellar confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
How much is 1 ADA in XLM?
1 ADA is worth about 1.2340 XLM at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 21 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the XLM 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 XLM?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Stellar address that should receive the XLM, send ADA from your own wallet, and the XLM goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Cardano to Stellar?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the XLM 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 XLM?
To receive Stellar from your swap, we recommend using Lobstr or Freighter. Make sure your wallet supports the Stellar network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XLM address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the XLM address?
Use a Stellar address: it starts with G and is 56 characters long. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.
Do I need a Memo to receive XLM?
Only if the XLM goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Memo; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal XLM wallet does not need one.
Can I track my ADA to XLM 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 XLM on StellarExpert (https://stellar.expert).
Is it safe to exchange ADA for XLM on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ADA deposit is converted and the XLM is sent straight to the Stellar address you enter, so check that address twice, Stellar transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain ADA to XLM swap work?
Cardano lives on Cardano and Stellar on Stellar, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ADA on Cardano and pays native XLM on Stellar, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ADA to XLM 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.
