Swap BTC to ADA

Exchange BTC from Bitcoin into ADA on Cardano. The provider waits for the BTC deposit before arranging the ADA payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

Address and network checks

Use the order’s Bitcoin deposit address for BTC, and your own Cardano receiving address for ADA. Keep the refund address on Bitcoin; the payout address is not automatically a valid refund destination.

Sending BTC

Choose Bitcoin using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Choose an on-chain Bitcoin transfer. A Lightning invoice or a wrapped BTC token belongs to a different transfer method and cannot replace the deposit address in this order.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Bitcoin, allow for network fees in BTC in addition to the amount you send. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving ADA

Choose Cardano using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Use a Cardano payment/receiving address from your wallet. A staking reward address is used for a different purpose and should not be substituted for a regular receiving address. This listed ADA/Mainnet option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

Enter a refund address that accepts BTC on Mainnet. The refund is sent in BTC on Mainnet; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.

Does a confirmed BTC deposit mean my ADA has arrived?
