Swap
XLMto
ADA
STELLAR → CARDANO · NO WALLET CONNECTION · NO SIGN-UP · NO KYC
No wallet connection is needed to swap XLM for ADA. Send XLM once from Lobstr, Freighter, Ledger or an exchange withdrawal, and ADA lands at any Cardano address you choose. Stellar deposits are matched by memo. The order page shows a memo next to the deposit address, and you must include both.

How the XLM to ADA swap works

Pick this route
On the exchange, choose XLM on Stellar as what you send and ADA on Cardano as what you receive, then enter the recipient address and review the live quote.

Send one deposit
A unique Stellar deposit address is generated for your order. Send the quoted XLM amount to it from any wallet or exchange — no wallet connection, no sign-up, no KYC.
- 03
Receive ADA on Cardano
Settlement runs across our aggregated liquidity sources, and ADA lands at the recipient address on Cardano. Follow every stage live on the order page.
XLM to ADA FAQ
Do I need to connect a Stellar wallet?
No. The exchange issues a deposit address on Stellar and you send XLM to it from Lobstr, Freighter, Ledger or an exchange withdrawal. Nothing is signed in the browser.
How long does XLM to ADA take?
Usually a few minutes from the moment your XLM deposit confirms. The quote shows an ETA for this exact route before you send anything.
Which Cardano address can receive the ADA?
Any Cardano address, an addr1… Shelley address. Only addr1… addresses are accepted.
Do I get real ADA?
Yes. The payout is an ordinary Cardano transaction to your address. It is not a wrapped token on another network and there is no claim step.
What happens if the swap fails after I send XLM?
You enter a Stellar refund address on the order form before the deposit address is issued. If the route cannot complete, your XLM goes back there and the order page shows the refund.
