Exchange in 3 steps

Set the ADA amount and paste your Filecoin payout address on Filecoin mainnet.

Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ADA to that deposit. After confirmations, FIL is paid 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.
- FIL not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
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.
Filecoin
Always match FIL on Filecoin mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving FIL
Your wallet must be on Filecoin mainnet.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.
Before you swap

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ADA for FIL?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Cardano → Filecoin.
How long is a ADA → FIL order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Cardano mainnet and Filecoin mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ADA or FIL?
No. You send ADA yourself and FIL is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong ADA network?
Match the network printed on the order (Cardano mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
