Swap LINK 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 Chainlink 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 LINK 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 Chainlink (LINK) 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 Chainlink deposit confirms on Ethereum. The payout is sent on Cardano, so check that your Cardano address belongs to that network before you confirm.

1 LINK
≈
55.29789 ADA
At the latest hourly update, 1 LINK converts to about 55.29789 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.

You deposit Chainlink (LINK) as an ERC-20 token from Ethereum and get Cardano (ADA) paid to an addr1 address in your own Cardano wallet. No account, no email. Some people swap LINK to ADA because they want to delegate to a Cardano stake pool from their wallet, which keeps the coins spendable with no lockup period, and they would rather hold ADA for that than an Ethereum token.
LINK pays the node operators who deliver off-chain data, such as price feeds, to smart contracts through Chainlink's oracle networks. The version this page takes is the Ethereum ERC-20, so you need ETH for gas; LINK on BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum or Polygon has its own entry in the selector. ADA is the native coin of Cardano, a proof-of-stake chain running the Ouroboros protocol. As a cross-chain swap, the payout needs a Cardano Shelley address starting with addr1, and no memo.
Enter an amount and the widget estimates your ADA at a floating rate, with the Cardano network fee for the payout already deducted. Market movement while your LINK deposit confirms can change the final figure slightly. Ethereum moves in 12-second blocks and Cardano produces a block about every 20 seconds on average, so the wait comes mostly from deposit confirmation and processing rather than from either chain being slow. Your order page shows each stage and the payout transaction ID.

Paste a Shelley-era payment address that starts with addr1, the format current Cardano wallets show on their receive screen. A stake address beginning with stake1 identifies your delegation and cannot receive a normal payment. Legacy Byron-era addresses also exist, though an addr1 address from a current wallet avoids any doubt.
Not to this deposit address, which only accepts the ERC-20 LINK on Ethereum mainnet. LINK on Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS and BNB Smart Chain is listed as separate options in the coin selector. Choose the option that matches where your LINK sits, or the deposit may be lost.
You can delegate it from your own Cardano wallet to a stake pool, and delegation does not lock the coins. xswap.to has no staking feature and only delivers the ADA to your address. Pool choice and rewards are handled in your wallet.
You do, because LINK is an ERC-20 token and moving it on Ethereum costs gas paid in ETH. Keep a little ETH in the wallet that holds your LINK before you start. The Cardano payout fee is already deducted in the estimate, so you do not pay it separately.
There is no set time, since it depends on your Ethereum deposit confirming and on processing before the ADA payout. Ethereum adds a block every 12 seconds and Cardano averages about one block every 20 seconds. A higher gas price helps your deposit get picked up sooner when Ethereum is busy.
No account balance is ever created. Your LINK goes to a one-time deposit address made for that single order, and the ADA is sent straight to the addr1 address you entered. xswap.to never asks for your seed phrase or private keys.
