Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ETH amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ETH to that deposit. After confirmations, ADA is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- ERC-20 on zkSync Era confirmations are usually fast.
- Send ETH on ERC-20 on zkSync Era only — not other L1/L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- Leave enough native gas token in your wallet for network fees.
- ADA not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Ethereum on zkSync Era
Always match ETH on ERC-20 on zkSync Era when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports ERC-20 on zkSync Era.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ETH for ADA?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Ethereum → Cardano.
How long is a ETH → ADA order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. ERC-20 on zkSync Era and Cardano mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ETH or ADA?
No. You send ETH yourself and ADA is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong ETH network?
Match the network printed on the order (ERC-20 on zkSync Era). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
