DRIFT

What is Drift?

Drift is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that focuses on perpetual futures trading. Built on Solana, it offers high-speed transactions with low fees. Drift aims to provide a user-friendly platform for advanced trading strategies.

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.

DRIFT to ADA: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap DRIFT to ADA on GhostSwap?
Most DRIFT to ADA swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DRIFT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana, 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.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DRIFT to ADA?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Cardano address that should receive the ADA, send DRIFT 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 Drift 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 SOL to pay the Solana network fee for sending DRIFT.
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 DRIFT 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 DRIFT payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming ADA on Cardanoscan (https://cardanoscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange DRIFT for ADA on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your DRIFT 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 DRIFT to ADA swap work?
Drift lives on Solana and Cardano on Cardano, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DRIFT on Solana and pays native ADA on Cardano, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my DRIFT to ADA exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the DRIFT is refunded to the Solana 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.
