How the ALGO → ADA order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 2,173.91 ALGO.
- Enter a ADA address in Cardano and a way to reach you.
- Send ALGO in Algorand for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Cardano leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ALGO
- The address network is Cardano. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 2,173.91 ALGO.
- 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: ALGO → ADA
What rate does ALGO to ADA run at?
As of Nov 1, 2026 20:34 it is 1 ALGO = 0.48884 ADA. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.0945113.
What amounts does ALGO → ADA accept?
From 2,173.91 to 106,000,000 ALGO per order. The lower limit is roughly $205.85.
Where does the 2,173.91 ALGO floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 2,173.91 ALGO the swap stops making sense for either side.
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 ALGO, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ALGO to ADA take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Algorand confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is.
Which network will ADA arrive in?
Cardano leaves in its own Cardano network — a plain ADA 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 ALGO to ADA rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 1.48%. Low 0.461893, high 0.538332, middle 0.500038 ADA per ALGO.
Can I go back, ADA to ALGO?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ADA = 2.056 ALGO. The link sits right under the calculator.
