Before you swap ADA to BTC
- Send ADA on Cardano only — your deposit address is generated for Cardano (starts with addr1).
- ADA is also listed on BNB Chain, but this swap only watches Cardano: ADA sent from another network won’t be detected.
- Your wallet adds the Cardano network fee on top of the amount you send, so keep a little extra ADA.
- Cardano adds a block about every 20 seconds and your deposit is credited after 20 confirmations on Cardano, so expect a few minutes to confirm on Cardano + manual payout.
- Send between 20 and 500,000 ADA; the widget won’t create a swap outside this range.
- You need an address on Bitcoin to receive BTC (starts with bc1, 1 or 3).
Swapping the other way? Deposits of 0.001–100 BTC are credited after 3 confirmations on Bitcoin: about 30 min to confirm on Bitcoin + manual payout. Use the BTC to ADA exchange page.
Fees and exchange rate
ShadowSwap adds no spread or service fee: the ADA → BTC rate is the ratio of their live USD prices. Your wallet pays the Cardano fee for the deposit in ADA; the Bitcoin network fee for sending your BTC is deducted from the payout. The BTC amount is calculated when you create the swap and saved on your order. See how ShadowSwap fees work.
FAQ: ADA to BTC
A few minutes to confirm on Cardano + manual payout. Your ADA deposit is credited after 20 confirmations on Cardano, where a block is added about every 20 seconds; payouts are not automatic, so the ShadowSwap team then sends your BTC on Bitcoin.
On this page, BTC is sent on Bitcoin. You need an address on Bitcoin to receive it — starts with bc1, 1 or 3.
ShadowSwap does: your ADA goes to a one-time Cardano deposit address that ShadowSwap controls until the team sends your BTC. Check the address, network and amount before you send.
