Common questions: ORCA → ADA
What rate does ORCA to ADA run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 20:08 it is 1 ORCA = 6.717 ADA. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1.36.
What amounts does ORCA → ADA accept?
From 153.6098 to 7,410,000 ORCA per order. The lower limit is roughly $207.37.
Where does the 153.6098 ORCA floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 153.6098 ORCA 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 ORCA, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ORCA to ADA take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Orca 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 ORCA to ADA rate do this month?
The month came in at plus 9.31%. Low 5.4634, high 7.1071, middle 6.2666 ADA per ORCA.
Can I go back, ADA to ORCA?
