Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the RUNE amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send RUNE to that deposit. After confirmations, ADA is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on THORChain mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only RUNE on THORChain mainnet to the address on your order page.
- 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.
THORChain
Always match RUNE on THORChain mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports THORChain mainnet.
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 RUNE for ADA?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for THORChain → Cardano.
How long is a RUNE → ADA order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. THORChain mainnet and Cardano mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody RUNE or ADA?
No. You send RUNE 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 RUNE network?
Match the network printed on the order (THORChain mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
