Swap AVAX to ADA 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 ADA goes straight to the wallet address you enter.
Enter the amount of Avalanche you want to swap in the widget above. It shows an estimate of the Cardano you will receive on the Cardano network at the current floating rate, with the payout network fee already taken into account.
Paste your ADA 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 AVAX to the one-time deposit address on the Avalanche X-Chain network. Once the deposit confirms, the swap runs automatically and the ADA is sent to your wallet. The order page shows every stage.
Swapping Avalanche (AVAX) for Cardano (ADA) 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 ADA goes there once the swap completes.
Rates are floating, so the amount shown is an estimate that can shift slightly while your Avalanche deposit confirms on Avalanche X-Chain. The payout is sent on Cardano, so check that your Cardano address belongs to that network before you confirm.
Refreshed hourly. The widget shows the live estimate.
1 AVAX
≈
--- ADA
At the latest hourly update, 1 AVAX converts to about --- ADA. 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.

Pay in AVAX from the Avalanche X-Chain and receive native ADA on Cardano at your own addr1 address, with no account required. People swap AVAX to ADA when they move from the Avalanche ecosystem to Cardano, for example to hold ADA in a wallet such as Lace, Eternl or Yoroi and delegate it to a stake pool from there. The order page gives you a one-time X-Chain deposit address, and the ADA goes to the wallet you entered.
Avalanche runs several chains, and this page takes AVAX on the X-Chain, whose addresses start with X-avax1. That is not the EVM C-Chain that MetaMask and most DeFi apps use, which appears in the selector as Avalanche (C-Chain). Cardano is a separate proof-of-stake blockchain, so the trade crosses chains. ADA arrives as Cardano's native coin, with no token contract and no memo, at a Shelley-era address beginning with addr1.
A floating-rate estimate appears in the widget once you enter an amount, and the Cardano network fee for delivering your ADA is already deducted from it. If the market moves before the X-Chain deposit confirms, the final ADA amount can come out a little higher or lower. Avalanche finalizes X-Chain transfers quickly, so the exchange step and the Cardano payout take up most of the time. Track each status on the order page, which also shows the transaction ID.

The deposit is on the Avalanche X-Chain, and the deposit address starts with X-avax1. The C-Chain, where MetaMask and most DeFi apps hold AVAX, is a separate option called Avalanche (C-Chain) in the coin selector. Choose that one if your AVAX is on the C-Chain.
Not to this order, because MetaMask holds AVAX on the C-Chain with a 0x address, while this order expects X-Chain AVAX. Either select Avalanche (C-Chain) as the send coin or move your AVAX to the X-Chain with a wallet such as Core first. Sending C-Chain AVAX toward this order risks losing it, so match the listing to your chain.
A Cardano mainnet payment address starts with addr1 and is a long lowercase string. Your wallet may also show a stake address starting with stake1, which is for rewards and cannot receive this payout. Copy the address from your wallet's Receive screen.
You receive native ADA on the Cardano blockchain. xswap.to also lists a BEP-20 ADA on BNB Smart Chain as a separate coin, but this page pays out on Cardano itself. Give a real Cardano wallet address, not a 0x address.
No set time applies, since it depends on how fast your X-Chain deposit confirms, how quickly the exchange step runs and how busy Cardano is when the payout goes out. Avalanche transfers usually finalize fast, and Cardano averages one block per 20 seconds or so. The order page shows which stage you are in.
You pay the small X-Chain fee in AVAX when you send the deposit. The exchange margin and the Cardano fee for sending your ADA are both built into the estimate the widget shows, so the payout figure is already net of them. Only floating-rate movement before the deposit confirms can shift it.
