Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ADA amount and paste your Ethereum (Base) payout address on Base mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ADA to that deposit. After confirmations, ETH is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- 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.
- ETH 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.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ADA for ETH?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Cardano → Ethereum (Base).
How long is a ADA → ETH order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Cardano mainnet and Base mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ADA or ETH?
No. You send ADA yourself and ETH is paid to the address you enter — GetSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong ADA network?
Match the network printed on the order (Cardano mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
