Most APE to ADA swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the APE deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the ADA is sent to your wallet, and Cardano confirms the payout in a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds). Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 APE in ADA? 1 APE is worth about 0.678197 ADA at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ADA network fee. The rate floats with the market until your APE deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange APE to ADA? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Cardano address that should receive the ADA, send APE from your own wallet, and the ADA goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting ApeCoin to Cardano? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ADA amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending APE. ### What wallet should I use to receive ADA? To receive Cardano from your swap, we recommend using Eternl, Lace or VESPR. Make sure your wallet supports the Cardano network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ADA address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the ADA address? Use a Cardano address: it starts with addr1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my APE to ADA 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 APE payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ADA on Cardanoscan (https://cardanoscan.io). ### Is it safe to exchange APE for ADA on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your APE deposit is converted and the ADA is sent straight to the Cardano address you enter, so check that address twice — Cardano transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain APE to ADA swap work? ApeCoin lives on Ethereum and Cardano on Cardano, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your APE on Ethereum and pays native ADA on Cardano, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my APE to ADA exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the APE is refunded to the Ethereum 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. ## Related - [Reverse: ADA to APE](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/ada-ape/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/ada-ape.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
