About this pair

BCH to ADA moves value between the Bitcoin Cash and Cardano ecosystems without an intermediate hop. U.CASH compares live partner offers and shows the best ADA receive amount before you commit. Send BCH to the deposit address, and ADA lands at a Cardano address (addr1…).

Before you start

Nothing to configure beyond the essentials. A wallet that holds BCH, plus the destination address for the ADA output. What you approve on screen is everything that will happen: amounts, fees, and the network costs per leg, all shown before the first signature. No account, no deposit, and no custody anywhere in the path.

How the BCH to ADA swap works

Step 01

Enter your BCH amount

Open the pair with both sides preselected and type the amount of Bitcoin Cash you are converting. The quote for ADA updates with it, all-in, before anything is committed.

Step 02

Compare the live offers

The instant-exchange network returns competing offers for the pair and the best net ADA amount is shown. The number you approve is the number that executes; there is no spread behind it.

Step 03

Confirm once

Approve the quote and send your BCH to the displayed address. One confirmation on the way in is all the flow asks; nothing is custodial anywhere in the path.

Step 04

Receive ADA at your address

The ADA settles on-chain to the address you chose, under ~2 min to full stake-based finality. From confirmation it is an ordinary balance: spend it, hold it, or route it on.

This pair crosses networks: the BCH leaves on Bitcoin (UTXO) and the ADA arrives on Layer 1. The instant-exchange network handles both legs as one quoted trade, so the crossing is priced into the offer you approve rather than added after the fact.

Fees and settlement

The platform side of this pair is a flat 0.50%, quoted all-in with the offer before you commit: no spread, no routing cut behind the number. The network side is the gas each chain charges to move, shown per leg in the preview. Settlement is on-chain to the address you choose, ~2 min to full stake-based finality, and from that point the ADA answers to your keys alone.

BCH to ADA: FAQ

How does a BCH to ADA swap work?

Enter your BCH amount and your ADA address, then confirm. U.CASH finds the partner with the best live offer, gives you a BCH deposit address, and ADA is sent to your address once the deposit confirms.

Do I need a wallet extension to swap BCH for ADA?

No. The instant rail only needs the two addresses: a Bitcoin Cash address (bitcoincash:… or q…) for the deposit and refunds, and a Cardano address (addr1…) to receive the ADA.

How long does a BCH to ADA exchange take?

Bitcoin Cash confirms in ~10 minute blocks, so the trade is usually waiting on the payout leg: most instant exchanges complete within ten to thirty minutes, tracked live on the status screen.

How long does a BCH to ADA swap take?

At the chains' pace. The exchange leg commits after the incoming transfer confirms and the ADA settles ~2 min to full stake-based finality; the preview states the expectation with the quote, and the status you watch is the same one the settlement acts on.

Is the BCH to ADA swap non-custodial?

Yes. The only signatures are yours, the route is atomic, and the ADA arrives at your own address: nothing is held, pooled, or rehypothecated along the way.
