Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ADA to send and enter your Polygon address on Polygon 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, MATIC 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.
- MATIC 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.
Polygon — low-cost EVM layer-2
MATIC (POL) powers Polygon — fast EVM transfers, low fees, and wide DeFi and bridge liquidity.
MATIC not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Polygon PoS mainnet and fully synced.
MATIC payout tips
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and verify the receive address starts with 0x.
- Check Polygonscan with the payout tx hash if your balance has not updated.
- Do not expect MATIC on Ethereum — this route pays out on Polygon PoS.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap ADA to MATIC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Cardano to Polygon swaps.
How long does ADA to MATIC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Cardano mainnet and Polygon mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is ADA to MATIC non-custodial?
Yes. You send ADA from your wallet and receive MATIC 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.
