Networks and wallets for BTC to ADA
Bitcoin mainnet
Select an on-chain Bitcoin withdrawal when the provider quotes Bitcoin mainnet. Lightning invoices and wrapped BTC on other chains require separate routes.
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 BTC 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 BTC to ADA
- Enter the BTC amount to see the estimated ADA payout.
- Enter a receiving address on Cardano mainnet · Shelley payment address and a refund address on Bitcoin mainnet. Check any destination tag your wallet requires.
- When the route accepts orders, review the exact amounts and follow the deposit instructions. Submit the BTC transaction ID and use your private order link to track the ADA payout.
How to compare BTC to ADA rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the BTC amount by the rate expressed in ADA per BTC. Then compare the actual ADA payout for the same BTC amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Swap Crypto has a $100 minimum. Estimates use market prices before fees. The order page shows the exact send and receive amounts, and your wallet may charge a separate network fee for sending the deposit.
