Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the ADA amount and paste the Stellar address that should collect payout on Stellar mainnet.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.
-
Send exactly that ADA amount to the deposit. After Cardano mainnet confirms, XLM is pushed 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.
- If XLM is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the order status. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — ToSwap has no login that can reopen expired pages.
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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.
Asset hubs
More anonymous no-KYC lanes and chain notes for each coin.
FAQ for this route
Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for ADA → XLM?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Cardano to Stellar order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does XLM usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Cardano mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Cardano mainnet or Stellar mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my ADA or XLM?
No hosted balance. You broadcast ADA from a wallet you control; XLM is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send ADA on the wrong network?
Match Cardano mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
