Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much MATIC to send and enter your Cardano address on Cardano mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer MATIC to the address on your order — after confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Polygon confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send MATIC on Polygon PoS mainnet only — not Ethereum or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough MATIC for gas.
- ADA not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Polygon — low-cost EVM layer-2
MATIC (POL) powers Polygon — fast EVM transfers, low fees, and wide DeFi and bridge liquidity.
MATIC on Polygon mainnet
Use a Polygon PoS wallet for deposits. Do not send MATIC on Ethereum mainnet — wrapped versions are different assets.
Leave enough MATIC in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
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 MATIC to ADA?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Polygon to Cardano swaps.
How long does MATIC to ADA take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Polygon mainnet and Cardano mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is MATIC to ADA non-custodial?
Yes. You send MATIC from your wallet and receive ADA directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send MATIC on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Polygon mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
