Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ADA amount and paste your Optimism payout address on Optimism mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ADA to that deposit. After confirmations, OP 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.
- OP 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.
Optimism — Ethereum L2 with low fees
OP is the governance token of Optimism — an Ethereum rollup with fast, low-cost transfers and deep Superchain liquidity.
OP not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Optimism mainnet and fully synced.
OP payout tips
- Payouts go to Optimism — verify your wallet RPC is set to Optimism, not Ethereum mainnet.
- Check Optimistic Etherscan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ADA for OP?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Cardano → Optimism.
How long is a ADA → OP order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Cardano mainnet and Optimism mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ADA or OP?
No. You send ADA yourself and OP 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.
