Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ARB amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ARB to that deposit. After confirmations, ADA is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Arbitrum confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ARB on Arbitrum One only — not Ethereum, Optimism, or Base unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Arbitrum-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas if needed.
- 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.
Arbitrum — leading Ethereum rollup
ARB is the governance token of Arbitrum One — an optimistic rollup with EVM compatibility and wide DeFi adoption.
ARB on Arbitrum One
Use an Arbitrum One wallet for deposits. Other chains use different assets even with the same ticker.
Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas on top of the swap amount when required.
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
Is identity verification required to trade ARB for ADA?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Arbitrum → Cardano.
How long is a ARB → ADA order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Arbitrum One and Cardano mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ARB or ADA?
No. You send ARB yourself and ADA is paid to the address you enter — GetSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong ARB network?
Match the network printed on the order (Arbitrum One). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
