OP

What is Optimism?

Optimism (OP) is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses optimistic rollups to make transactions faster and significantly cheaper than on Ethereum mainnet. Optimism is known for its retroactive public goods funding model, which directs network revenue toward open-source projects that benefit the ecosystem. OP is the governance token used for voting on protocol decisions and treasury allocation. Major DeFi protocols including Aave, Uniswap, and Synthetix are deployed on Optimism.

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.

OP to ADA: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap OP to ADA on GhostSwap?
Most OP to ADA swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, 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 OP in ADA?
1 OP is worth about 0.565327 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 rate floats with the market until your OP deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange OP to ADA?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Cardano address that should receive the ADA, send OP 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 Optimism 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 on OP Mainnet to pay the OP Mainnet network fee for sending OP.
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 OP 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 OP payment on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io) and your incoming ADA on Cardanoscan (https://cardanoscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange OP for ADA on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your OP 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 OP to ADA swap work?
Optimism lives on OP Mainnet and Cardano on Cardano, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your OP on OP Mainnet and pays native ADA on Cardano, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my OP to ADA exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the OP is refunded to the OP Mainnet 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.
