Swap BCH 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 Bitcoin Cash 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 BCH to the one-time deposit address on the Bitcoin Cash network. Once the deposit confirms, the swap runs automatically and the ADA is sent to your wallet. The order page shows every stage.
Swapping Bitcoin Cash (BCH) 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 Bitcoin Cash deposit confirms on Bitcoin Cash. The payout is sent on Cardano, so check that your Cardano address belongs to that network before you confirm.

1 BCH
≈
1411.9735 ADA
At the latest hourly update, 1 BCH converts to about 1411.9735 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.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) goes in from your BCH wallet, and Cardano (ADA) comes out to a Cardano address you own, with no account in between. A typical reason to convert BCH to ADA is to hold a proof-of-stake coin you can delegate to a stake pool from your own wallet, or to pay fees and minimum ADA amounts for tokens and NFTs on Cardano.
Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin in 2017 to allow much larger blocks, keeps proof of work, and still aims for 10-minute blocks. Its CashAddr addresses start with q or p, often prefixed by bitcoincash, while older legacy-format addresses look like Bitcoin ones. Cardano runs the Ouroboros proof-of-stake protocol, and current Shelley addresses begin with addr1. The chains are separate, so this BCH to ADA exchange is a cross-chain swap, and neither side needs a memo.
The widget quotes a floating-rate estimate of your ADA with the Cardano network fee for the payout already taken off. The number can change slightly if BCH moves before your deposit confirms. Bitcoin Cash block times decide most of the wait, since Cardano adds a block roughly every 20 seconds once the payout is sent. Keep the order page open or reopen it from Track Order to follow the status and grab the transaction ID.

Use a Shelley address starting with addr1, which every current Cardano wallet creates by default. An exchange's ADA deposit address works too, and Cardano needs no memo. Avoid pasting a stake address beginning with stake1, which cannot receive a normal payment.
xswap.to has no staking, but once the ADA is in your own wallet you can delegate it to a stake pool from that wallet. Cardano delegation does not lock the coins, so they stay spendable the whole time.
Most of the time goes into confirming your Bitcoin Cash deposit, because BCH block intervals average 10 minutes and vary from block to block. After the exchange step, the ADA payout lands within a few Cardano blocks. The order page shows live status throughout.
Only if that wallet supports the Bitcoin Cash network and is sending BCH, not BTC. Some multi-coin wallets hold both, and picking the wrong one sends a coin this deposit address does not accept. Check the coin name in the send screen before you confirm.
The rate floats with the market until your BCH deposit is confirmed and exchanged. If Bitcoin Cash or Cardano moves during those block confirmations, the ADA payout adjusts slightly. Cardano's fee for sending the payout had already been subtracted from the estimate.
No account, email or ID is needed on xswap.to. A partner's automated anti-money-laundering system can, rarely, pause a flagged transaction and request verification. Should that happen, reach support at @xswap_to on Telegram and include your transaction ID.
