    Exchange in 3 steps

    1. Choose how much XLM to send and enter your Cardano address on Cardano mainnet.

    2. Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.

    3. Transfer XLM to the address on your order — after confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet automatically.

    What do you need to know?

    • Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
    • A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
    • Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
    • 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.
    You send

    Stellar — fast payments network

    XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.

    Sending XLM on Stellar

    Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.

    If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.

    You receive

    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 XLM to ADA?

    No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Stellar to Cardano swaps.

    How long does XLM to ADA take?

    Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Stellar mainnet and Cardano mainnet confirmations and current network load.

    Is XLM to ADA non-custodial?

    Yes. You send XLM from your wallet and receive ADA directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.

    What if I send XLM on the wrong network?

    Always match the network on your order page (Stellar mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
