Swap ADA to BTC in three steps without creating an account. You see an estimated amount before you send, the exchange runs automatically once your deposit confirms, and the BTC goes straight to the wallet address you enter.
Enter the amount of Cardano you want to swap in the widget above. It shows an estimate of the Bitcoin you will receive on the Bitcoin network at the current floating rate, with the payout network fee already taken into account.
Paste your BTC wallet address and check it twice, because blockchain transfers cannot be reversed. If the coin needs a memo or destination tag, a field for it appears. xswap.to never asks for your private keys.
Confirm the order and send your ADA to the one-time deposit address on the Cardano network. Once the deposit confirms, the swap runs automatically and the BTC is sent to your wallet. The order page shows every stage.
Swapping Cardano (ADA) for Bitcoin (BTC) here takes one transfer from your wallet: no exchange account, no balance to deposit and no withdrawal queue. You choose the receiving address, and the BTC goes there once the swap completes.
Rates are floating, so the amount shown is an estimate that can shift slightly while your Cardano deposit confirms on Cardano. The payout is sent on Bitcoin, so check that your Bitcoin address belongs to that network before you confirm.

27 ADA
≈
0.0000615 BTC
At the latest hourly update, 27 ADA converts to about 0.0000615 BTC. The figure comes from the floating rate and already allows for the payout network fee. Rates move, so the widget recalculates the estimate when you enter your own amount, and no account or registration is needed to swap.

A Cardano wallet sends the ADA, and bitcoin arrives on the Bitcoin network at an address you own, without a signup or email. Many people swap ADA to BTC to move savings from a proof-of-stake altcoin into Bitcoin for long-term holding in a self-custody wallet. Others need BTC to pay an invoice or a person who only accepts bitcoin, and want to skip opening an exchange account to get it.
Bitcoin (BTC) runs on proof-of-work and targets one block about every 10 minutes, while Cardano (ADA) uses the Ouroboros proof-of-stake protocol and produces blocks far more often. Both chains track coins as unspent outputs, though Cardano extends that model with scripts and native tokens. Because the networks are separate, this is a cross-chain swap, and there is no memo or tag on either side. Any standard Bitcoin address works for the payout, including bc1 SegWit addresses and older ones starting with 1 or 3.
You see a floating-rate estimate in BTC first, and the Bitcoin network fee for the payout is already deducted, which matters more here than on most chains because Bitcoin fees climb when blocks are full. Price moves before your ADA deposit confirms can nudge the final amount up or down. Cardano usually confirms your deposit well before the payout step, so the slower part is often Bitcoin's block time. Your order page shows each step and the payout transaction ID.

Standard on-chain addresses work, meaning bc1 SegWit addresses and older ones starting with 1 or 3. Lightning invoices and Lightning addresses cannot receive this payout because it is sent on the Bitcoin base layer. Copy the address straight from your wallet's receive screen.
The network fee for sending your BTC is deducted from the payout and is already built into the estimate. When the Bitcoin mempool is crowded, that fee rises, so the BTC you receive for the same ADA amount can be lower. For small swaps the effect is easier to notice.
The payout is an ordinary Bitcoin transaction, so it waits in the mempool until a miner includes it in a block. Bitcoin aims to produce a block about every 10 minutes, and a busy mempool can stretch that wait. Paste the transaction ID from your order page into a Bitcoin block explorer to watch its confirmations.
You can, as long as the withdrawal goes out on the Cardano network as native ADA. Some exchanges offer several networks for ADA withdrawals, so pick Cardano and not BNB Smart Chain. Exchange withdrawals can take extra time before they reach the chain, which delays the start of the swap.
xswap.to never asks for your seed phrase or private keys, holds no account balances, and sends the BTC straight to the address you enter. What it cannot protect you from is a wrong address or wrong network, since blockchain transfers cannot be reversed. Check the payout address and the order details before sending ADA.
First check your Cardano transaction on a block explorer to confirm it went to the deposit address shown on the order page. If it is confirmed on-chain but the order still says waiting for deposit, contact support on Telegram at @xswap_to and include the transaction ID.
