Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XMR 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 XMR to the address on your order — after confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Monero requires confirmations before funds are considered final — wallet sync matters.
- Allow time for your Monero wallet to scan new blocks after receipt.
- Use a fresh subaddress for each swap. Avoid reusing old XMR receive addresses.
- 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.
Monero — private by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.
Monero wallet sync
An out-of-sync wallet may not display incoming funds even after the order shows a payout.
Compare your wallet block height with a public Monero explorer before opening a support ticket.
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 XMR to ADA?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Monero to Cardano swaps.
How long does XMR to ADA take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Monero mainnet and Cardano mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is XMR to ADA non-custodial?
Yes. You send XMR from your wallet and receive ADA directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send XMR on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Monero mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
