Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the XLM 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 XLM amount to the deposit. After Stellar mainnet confirms, ADA is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
- A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
- Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
- 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
Sending XLM on Stellar
Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.
If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.
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 XLM → ADA?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Stellar to Cardano order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does ADA usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Stellar mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Stellar mainnet or Cardano mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my XLM or ADA?
No hosted balance. You broadcast XLM from a wallet you control; ADA is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send XLM on the wrong network?
Match Stellar mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
