Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the AVAX amount and paste the Cardano address that should collect payout on Cardano mainnet.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.
-
Send exactly that AVAX amount to the deposit. After Avalanche C-Chain confirms, ADA is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Avalanche C-Chain confirmations are typically very fast — often under a minute.
- Send AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain only — not X-Chain or P-Chain unless your order specifies them.
- Use a C-Chain compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough AVAX for gas.
- If ADA 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.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Use an Avalanche C-Chain wallet for deposits. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses are not interchangeable with C-Chain.
Leave enough AVAX in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
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.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

More anonymous no-KYC lanes and chain notes for each coin.
FAQ for this route
Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for AVAX → ADA?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Avalanche to Cardano order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does ADA usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Avalanche C-Chain deposit confirms. Congestion on Avalanche C-Chain or Cardano mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my AVAX or ADA?
No hosted balance. You broadcast AVAX from a wallet you control; ADA is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send AVAX on the wrong network?
Match Avalanche C-Chain exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
