About this pair

Before you start

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

The WBTC settles on-chain to the address you chose, under Follows Ethereum (~12 confirmations). 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 WBTC 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

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, Follows Ethereum (~12 confirmations), and from that point the WBTC answers to your keys alone.
