Who takes the SAND → ADA route
- Fuel for CardanoWithout Cardano nothing moves in Cardano — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
- Different basketsDaily moves of SAND and ADA over 90 days line up at 0.57 (they travel alike) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
- A road both waysThe ADA → SAND direction is open too, so going back into SAND takes the same route.

How the SAND → ADA order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 6,002.58 SAND.
- Enter a ADA address in Cardano and a way to reach you.
- Send SAND in The Sandbox 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 SAND
- The address network is Cardano. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 6,002.58 SAND.
- 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: SAND → ADA
What rate does SAND to ADA run at?
As of Nov 1, 2026 12:59 it is 1 SAND = 0.240388 ADA. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.0465497.
What amounts does SAND → ADA accept?
From 6,002.58 to 214,000,000 SAND per order. The lower limit is roughly $280.40.
Where does the 6,002.58 SAND floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 6,002.58 SAND 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 SAND, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does SAND to ADA take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once The Sandbox 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 SAND to ADA rate do this month?
The month came in at plus 34.09%. Low 0.178072, high 0.307558, middle 0.253823 ADA per SAND.
Can I go back, ADA to SAND?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ADA = 4.1809 SAND. The link sits right under the calculator.
