Swap DAI 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 Dai 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 DAI to the one-time deposit address on the Ethereum network. Once the deposit confirms, the swap runs automatically and the ADA is sent to your wallet. The order page shows every stage.
Swapping Dai (DAI) 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 Dai deposit confirms on Ethereum. 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.
4 DAI
≈
12.672601 ADA
At the latest hourly update, 4 DAI converts to about 12.672601 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.

Dai (DAI) leaves your Ethereum wallet as an ERC-20 token, and Cardano (ADA) lands at the Cardano address you paste into the form. No account or email is needed. A typical reason to convert DAI to ADA is moving dollar-pegged savings into the Cardano ecosystem, where you need ADA to pay transaction fees and can delegate to a stake pool from your own wallet while the coins stay spendable.
DAI is a dollar-pegged stablecoin from the Maker protocol, which rebranded as Sky in 2024 and added a newer stablecoin, USDS. DAI itself is still in use and is the token accepted here, backed by collateral deposited in the protocol. Sending it on Ethereum costs ETH for gas. ADA is the native coin of Cardano, a proof-of-stake chain running Ouroboros. The swap is cross-chain: the payout goes to a Cardano address, which in current wallets begins with addr1, and no memo is required.
Type a DAI amount and the widget gives a floating-rate ADA estimate with the Cardano network fee already deducted. The stablecoin peg keeps the DAI side steady, so most of any gap between estimate and payout comes from ADA moving while your Ethereum deposit confirms. Ethereum's 12-second blocks carry the DAI in, and the ADA payout then goes out on Cardano. Each stage of the order, plus a transaction ID for a Cardano block explorer, appears on your order page.

DAI still exists and is the token accepted here. Maker rebranded as Sky in 2024 and launched USDS as a newer stablecoin, but DAI was not retired, and this page takes ERC-20 DAI on Ethereum. Do not send USDS to a DAI deposit address.
Use a Cardano mainnet address, which in modern wallets begins with addr1. Use the copy button in your Cardano wallet rather than typing it out. Cardano payouts need no memo, so the address field is all you fill in.
ETH is required, since Ethereum charges gas in ETH for every ERC-20 transfer, DAI included. Keep some in the wallet that holds your DAI before you start, or the deposit transaction will not broadcast. Nothing is needed on the Cardano side to receive ADA.
Not to this order. The deposit address here takes DAI on Ethereum only. DAI on BNB Smart Chain, Polygon PoS, Arbitrum One and OP Mainnet are separate listings, so pick the matching one in the coin selector before creating the order.
The quote uses a floating rate. DAI tracks the US dollar, but ADA can move during the time your deposit takes to confirm, and the payout is calculated when the exchange runs. The Cardano network fee was already in the quote.
xswap.to does not ask for ID and has no account system. In rare cases a partner's automated anti-money-laundering check can pause a flagged transaction and ask for verification. Most orders need only the amount and your ADA address.
