How the LDO → ADA order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 599.7001 LDO.
- Enter a ADA address in Cardano and a way to reach you.
- Send LDO in Lido DAO 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 LDO
- The address network is Cardano. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 599.7001 LDO.
- 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: LDO → ADA
What rate does LDO to ADA run at?
As of Nov 2, 2026 04:14 it is 1 LDO = 1.7655 ADA. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.340686.
What amounts does LDO → ADA accept?
From 599.7001 to 29,400,000 LDO per order. The lower limit is roughly $203.91.
Where does the 599.7001 LDO floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 599.7001 LDO 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 LDO, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does LDO to ADA take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Lido DAO 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 LDO to ADA rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 2.31%. Low 1.7259, high 1.9171, middle 1.7828 ADA per LDO.
Can I go back, ADA to LDO?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ADA = 0.569278 LDO. The link sits right under the calculator.
