How the ADA → XTZ order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator and press the exchange button.
- Enter a XTZ address in Tezos and a way to reach you.
- Send ADA in Cardano for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Tezos leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ADA
- The address network is Tezos. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

Common questions: ADA → XTZ
What rate does ADA to XTZ run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 23:58 it is 1 ADA = 0.814084 XTZ. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.202372.
What else is taken on top of the rate?
The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending ADA, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ADA to XTZ take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Cardano confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Cardano closes in about 20 sec.
Which network will XTZ arrive in?
Tezos leaves in its own Tezos network — a plain XTZ address is all you need.
What if the rate moves while I am paying?
The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the ADA to XTZ rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 9.32%. Low 0.717376, high 0.971894, middle 0.887057 XTZ per ADA.
Can I go back, XTZ to ADA?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 XTZ = 1.2346 ADA. The link sits right under the calculator.
