Networks and wallets for ATOM to ADA
Cosmos Hub mainnet (native ATOM)
Check whether the ATOM balance is on Cosmos Hub or represented through IBC on another chain. For a Cosmos Hub deposit, follow the provider’s address and memo instructions on the Hub.
Cardano mainnet
Choose the receive address for ADA in a Cardano mainnet wallet. Use the payment address displayed by the wallet rather than a stake address.
Check ATOM deposit and ADA payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your ADA wallet expects.
How to convert ATOM to ADA
- Check that a live provider quotes your ATOM deposit network and the ADA payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of ADA you would receive after fees, then confirm the receiving address and any memo or tag required for your payout.
- If you go ahead, follow the live order’s deposit instructions. Keep the order ID and the ATOM transaction reference, then verify the ADA payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare ATOM to ADA rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the ATOM amount by the rate expressed in ADA per ATOM. Then compare the actual ADA payout for the same ATOM amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Orbit uses a $100 minimum. The estimate on this page uses reference market prices before fees. An executable quote, including any additional route limits, comes from a live settlement provider.
