Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the XMR amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send XMR to that deposit. After confirmations, ADA is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- 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
Is identity verification required to trade XMR for ADA?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Monero → Cardano.
How long is a XMR → ADA order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Monero mainnet and Cardano mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody XMR or ADA?
No. You send XMR 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 XMR network?
Match the network printed on the order (Monero mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
