Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the DAI 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 DAI amount to the deposit. After ERC-20 on Ethereum confirms, ADA is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Payout starts after ERC-20 on Ethereum has enough confirmations.
- Use ERC-20 on Ethereum only — the same ticker on another chain is a different asset.
- Read the network badge on the order before you broadcast.
- 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.
Dai on Ethereum
Credit DAI only on ERC-20 on Ethereum. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
Deposit checklist
Open a wallet that can send on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
The wallet network must match the deposit network printed on the order.
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.
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 DAI → ADA?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Dai to Cardano order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does ADA usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the ERC-20 on Ethereum deposit confirms. Congestion on ERC-20 on Ethereum or Cardano mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my DAI or ADA?
No hosted balance. You broadcast DAI from a wallet you control; ADA is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send DAI on the wrong network?
Match ERC-20 on Ethereum exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
