Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ADA to send and enter your Celo address on Celo mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer ADA to the address on your order — after confirmations, CELO is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
- Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
- CELO not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Cardano — research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.
Sending ADA
Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.
Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.
Celo
Always match CELO on Celo mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving CELO
Your wallet must be on Celo mainnet.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap ADA to CELO?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Cardano to Celo swaps.
How long does ADA to CELO take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Cardano mainnet and Celo mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is ADA to CELO non-custodial?
Yes. You send ADA from your wallet and receive CELO directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send ADA on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Cardano mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
