About this pair

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

Before you start

Two things and the pair is ready. A wallet holding your ADA, and the BCH address you want the output delivered to, raw string or web3 name where your wallet resolves one. The preview shows the whole trade before anything is signed: what leaves, what arrives, the fee, and the network costs. Keys never leave your side at any point in the flow.

How the ADA to BCH swap works

Step 01

Enter your ADA amount

Open the pair with both sides preselected and type the amount of Cardano you are converting. The quote for BCH 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 BCH 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 ADA 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 BCH at your address

The BCH settles on-chain to the address you chose, under 1 confirmation (fast), 6 (standard). From confirmation it is an ordinary balance: spend it, hold it, or route it on.

This pair crosses networks: the ADA leaves on Layer 1 and the BCH arrives on Bitcoin (UTXO). 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, 1 confirmation (fast), 6 (standard), and from that point the BCH answers to your keys alone.

ADA to BCH: FAQ

How does a ADA to BCH swap work?

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

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

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

How long does a ADA to BCH exchange take?

Cardano slots run ~20 seconds with ~2 minute practical finality, 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 ADA to BCH swap take?

At the chains' pace. The exchange leg commits after the incoming transfer confirms and the BCH settles 1 confirmation (fast), 6 (standard); the preview states the expectation with the quote, and the status you watch is the same one the settlement acts on.

Is the ADA to BCH swap non-custodial?

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