Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the SOL amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send SOL to that deposit. After confirmations, ADA is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Solana confirmations are fast — often under a minute for practical purposes.
- Network outages or congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Use a Solana mainnet address (base58). Do not send SPL tokens unless the order specifies a token mint.
- 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.
Solana — high-speed layer-1
SOL is the native token of Solana — built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large ecosystem of on-chain apps.
Solana deposit tips
Send native SOL on Solana mainnet. Token deposits require the exact asset your order lists.
Keep a small SOL balance for rent-exempt account requirements in some wallets.
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 SOL for ADA?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Solana → Cardano.
How long is a SOL → ADA order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Solana mainnet and Cardano mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody SOL or ADA?
No. You send SOL 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 SOL network?
Match the network printed on the order (Solana mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
