How do I exchange XMR to ADA?
Pick XMR and ADA
Pick XMR in “You send” and ADA in “You get”, then enter the amount. The box shows how much ADA you get after all fees, and the minimum for this pair.
Paste your Cardano address
Paste the Cardano address that should receive the ADA: it starts with addr1. Wallets that work: Eternl, Lace or VESPR. Then enter the Monero address you send XMR from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.
Send XMR on Monero
Send exactly the amount shown from your own Monero wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the Monero network.
Receive ADA
Your ADA is paid out once your XMR deposit confirms, and Cardano then confirms it in a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds). Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.
Monero to Cardano: receiving ADA you can stake
XMR to ADA is used by Monero holders who want Cardano to stake, to delegate a governance vote or to use Cardano apps. Staking on Cardano is liquid: you delegate the whole wallet to a pool and the ADA stays spendable. ADA from the swap goes directly to your addr1 address, with no sign-up first.
Your XMR deposit is processed after roughly 20 minutes of Monero confirmations (about 10 blocks). The ADA payout then needs only a few minutes on Cardano, where blocks arrive about every 20 seconds, so most swaps take 20 to 60 minutes. Keep in mind that the payout is public: addresses in one Cardano wallet share a stake key, so an explorer can link the new ADA to the rest of that wallet.
Tips for this swap
- Take the payout address from Eternl, Lace or VESPR (it starts with addr1). A normal wallet receive address carries your stake key, so the ADA joins your delegation with no extra step.
- Want the ADA kept apart from an existing Cardano wallet? Create a new wallet with its own recovery phrase; a fresh address in the same wallet still shares its stake key.
- Enter your own Monero address as the refund address.
Can I buy ADA with Monero without KYC?
Yes. You need no account, email or ID for a standard swap, just an addr1 address for the ADA and a Monero refund address. The floating rate is shown before you send any XMR.
When does the new ADA start earning staking rewards?
Cardano takes a stake snapshot at the start of each five-day epoch, so the new ADA counts from the next snapshot and its first rewards arrive a few epochs later. You do not need to delegate again.
Common mistakes with XMR to ADA
- Sending XMR from a wallet that is not fully synced.
- Leaving too little XMR in the wallet for the network fee.
- Pasting an address from another network: the ADA address starts with addr1.
