About this pair

ADA to ETH moves value between the Cardano and Ethereum ecosystems without an intermediate hop. U.CASH compares live partner offers and shows the best ETH receive amount before you commit. Send ADA to the deposit address, and ETH lands at an Ethereum address (0x…).

Before you start

Two things and the pair is ready. A wallet holding your ADA, and the ETH 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 ETH 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 ETH 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 ETH 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 ETH at your address

The ETH settles on-chain to the address you chose, under 12 confirmations (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 ETH arrives on EVM. 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

Count it on one hand: 0.50% flat to the platform, stated in the quote with nothing behind it, plus each chain's gas for its leg of the trip. The route runs non-custodial end to end, so when the ETH settles 12 confirmations (standard) at your address, it is yours in the fullest sense: no custodian, no withdrawal queue, no platform in the path.

ADA to ETH: FAQ

How does a ADA to ETH swap work?
Enter your ADA amount and your ETH address, then confirm. U.CASH finds the partner with the best live offer, gives you a ADA deposit address, and ETH is sent to your address once the deposit confirms.
Do I need a wallet extension to swap ADA for ETH?
No. The instant rail only needs the two addresses: a Cardano address (addr1…) for the deposit and refunds, and an Ethereum address (0x…) to receive the ETH.
How long does a ADA to ETH 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 ETH swap take?
At the chains' pace. The exchange leg commits after the incoming transfer confirms and the ETH settles 12 confirmations (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 ETH swap non-custodial?
Yes. Your wallet signs every step and the ETH settles to the address you chose; U.CASH never holds either asset, and there is no platform wallet anywhere in the route.
