Dash
Always match DASH on Dash mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Dash mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Cardano — research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.
ADA payout delays
Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.
When will ADA arrive?
Cardano block times are around 20 seconds — payouts typically follow within several blocks.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
- Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.

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