Common questions: LINK → ADA

What rate does LINK to ADA run at?

As of Sep 17, 2026 00:38 it is 1 LINK = 56.2829 ADA. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $10.89.

What amounts does LINK → ADA accept?

From 17.6627 to 925,000 LINK per order. The lower limit is roughly $190.93.

Where does the 17.6627 LINK floor come from?

Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 17.6627 LINK 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 LINK, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does LINK to ADA take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Chainlink 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.

Can I go back, ADA to LINK?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ADA = 0.0178568 LINK. The link sits right under the calculator.
