Who takes the ETH → ADA route
- Fuel for CardanoWithout Cardano nothing moves in Cardano — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
- Different basketsDaily moves of ETH and ADA over 90 days line up at 0.77 (they travel together) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
- A road both waysThe ADA → ETH direction is open too, so going back into ETH takes the same route.

How the ETH → ADA order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.012 ETH.
- Enter a ADA address in Cardano and a way to reach you.
- Send ETH in Ethereum 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 ETH
- The address network is Cardano. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 0.012 ETH.
- 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: ETH → ADA
What rate does ETH to ADA run at?
As of Sep 18, 2026 00:08 it is 1 ETH = 12,178.71 ADA. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $2,455.53.
What amounts does ETH → ADA accept?
From 0.012 to 4,080 ETH per order. The lower limit is roughly $29.41.
Where does the 0.012 ETH floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.012 ETH 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 ETH, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ETH to ADA take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Ethereum confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Ethereum closes in about 12 sec.
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 ETH to ADA rate do this month?
The month came in at plus 14.13%. Low 10,719.07, high 12,540.71, middle 11,718.16 ADA per ETH.
Can I go back, ADA to ETH?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ADA = 0.0000826877 ETH. The link sits right under the calculator.
