Why Dash holders move into ALGO
DASH works well as a coin to pay with. ALGO is the fuel of Algorand, a proof-of-stake chain where blocks come every few seconds and a transaction is final as soon as it lands in one. People make this swap to use Algorand apps, to hold assets issued on Algorand, or simply to keep part of their balance on a second fast network.
ALGO pays every fee on its own chain, and those fees are tiny, so the payout is usable at once. There is also a privacy difference to keep in mind. Dash offers optional CoinJoin mixing, while Algorand has nothing like it: every ALGO balance and transfer is public on Allo.
The ALGO you receive is native, on Algorand mainnet. There is no bridge in the middle and no token standing in for it on some other chain.
Checking an Algorand address
An Algorand address is exactly 58 characters long and uses only capital letters and the digits 2 to 7. That gives you a fast sanity check: lowercase letters, or any 0, 1, 8 or 9, mean the string is not an Algorand address. A 0x address or a Dash X address fails the same test.
Copy the address from Pera, Defly or the Algorand app on a Ledger. Names from NFDomains that end in .algo are handy for people, but the payout field needs the raw 58-character address behind them.
The ALGO payout has no memo or note field. That suits a personal wallet, which needs none. It does not suit an exchange deposit address that asks for a note to credit your account, so send the ALGO to your own wallet first and move it from there.
The minimum balance on new Algorand accounts
Algorand keeps a small minimum balance in every account. A brand-new address in Pera or Defly does not exist on chain until it receives its first ALGO, and the payout from this swap is enough to open it.
The effect shows up later. When you try to send everything out, the wallet stops short and leaves that minimum behind. That is the network rule, not a stuck payment. Close the account in the wallet if you really want the full amount out.
If you later opt into Algorand Standard Assets, such as stablecoins issued on Algorand, each opt-in raises the minimum a little. Keep a small spare amount of ALGO for that and for fees. The swap pays the ALGO straight to your address, so there is nothing to claim or approve after it arrives.
Dash and Algorand compared
| DASH (you send) | ALGO (you receive) | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Dash | Algorand mainnet |
| Address | Starts with X | 58 capital letters and digits |
| Confirmation | A few minutes | Under a minute, final once in a block |
| Fee paid in | DASH | ALGO |
| Wallets | Dash Core, DashPay | Pera, Defly |
| Explorer | Blockchair | Allo |
The two networks reach agreement in very different ways. Dash is mined, with masternodes adding services on top, and it waits for blocks to stack up. Algorand picks block proposers by stake and never forks, so one block is the whole wait. In practice the Dash deposit is the slower half of this swap, and the ALGO payout follows quickly once it is sent. The wallets do not overlap either, so keep both apps open while you fill in the form.
Sending DASH and what the rate means
Send ordinary DASH from Dash Core or DashPay to the deposit address in the box. Dash adds a block about every 2.5 minutes, and the deposit is normally credited within a few minutes. Your wallet adds the network fee in DASH on top of the amount.
The box shows the ALGO you receive after fees, quoted from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets. It floats with the market until your deposit confirms, so a quote you looked at earlier can differ slightly from the final figure. The reference rate near the box is the market price before fees, and the box also lists this pair's minimum and maximum.
Once the DASH is confirmed, most swaps finish within minutes. Algorand then confirms the payout in under a minute.
Refund address and support
The X address you give as the sender is the refund address. If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered. Use an address from a Dash wallet you control, not one belonging to a trading platform, where a returned deposit may never be matched to you.
Keep the swap ID and the Dash transaction hash until the ALGO shows in your wallet. The status page follows the swap, Blockchair shows the Dash side and Allo shows the payout. If the deposit is confirmed but the status has not changed for a long time, write to support@ghostswap.io with both. Never send the DASH a second time to hurry it along.
For the reverse direction, use ALGO to DASH. The Dash exchange page gathers every other DASH pair too.
Common mistakes
- Pasting an address with lowercase letters or the digits 0, 1, 8 or 9, which cannot be Algorand.
- Entering a .algo name instead of the 58-character address behind it.
- Sending the ALGO to an exchange deposit that needs a note; the payout has no note field.
- Expecting to empty a Pera account completely, forgetting Algorand's minimum balance.
- Giving a trading-platform withdrawal address as the Dash sender and refund address.
