Receive ADA in your wallet and follow the status page with your swap ID. ## ICP to Cardano: paying out to an addr1 wallet ICP to ADA moves value from the Internet Computer, where accounts are 64-character account IDs, to Cardano, where wallets receive at addr1 addresses. ADA holders can delegate to a stake pool while the coins stay in their own wallet. The pair suits ICP holders who want ADA to stake or to use in Cardano apps, with no account. The Internet Computer finalizes the ICP deposit within seconds. Cardano blocks come roughly every 20 seconds, which puts the ADA payout's confirmation at a few minutes, and most swaps finish in 5 to 15 minutes. Only liquid ICP can be swapped: ICP locked in a neuron has to finish dissolving and be disbursed to your account first. ### Tips - Use a Cardano payment address beginning with addr1, copied from the Receive tab in Eternl, Lace or VESPR. A stake1 address is a reward address and is rejected for the payout. - Your refund address is the 64-character ICP account ID of the wallet you send from, such as the NNS dapp, OISY or Plug. The dashed principal ID is not accepted. - Delegating ADA to a stake pool leaves it spendable. There is no lock-up, and the ADA never leaves your wallet. ### Can I swap ICP to ADA without KYC? Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your addr1 address, check the floating rate and send the ICP. ### Is the ADA paid on Cardano or on BNB Smart Chain? On Cardano, as native ADA. GhostSwap also lists a BEP-20 version of ADA on BNB Smart Chain as a separate coin. Choose that one only if you want a 0x address on BSC. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap ICP to ADA on GhostSwap? Most ICP to ADA swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ICP deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Internet Computer, then the ADA is sent to your wallet, and Cardano confirms the payout in a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds). ### How much is 1 ICP in ADA? 1 ICP is worth about 13.7051 ADA at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 12 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ADA network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 8.8 ICP. The Internet Computer network fee for sending the ICP is paid separately, in ICP. The rate floats with the market until your ICP deposit confirms. ### Can I send ICP straight to my ADA address? No. ICP moves on Internet Computer and ADA on Cardano, so ICP can only be sent to an Internet Computer address. To swap, send the ICP to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the ADA is paid to the Cardano address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token. ### What wallet and address do I need to receive ADA? Use a Cardano address from a wallet you control, such as Eternl, Lace or VESPR. The address starts with addr1. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the ADA is sent straight to the address you enter. ### What happens if my ICP to ADA exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ICP is refunded to the Internet Computer address you entered as the sender address. ## Related - [Reverse: ADA to ICP](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/ada-icp/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/ada-icp.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)
