Cardano Swap (ADA)
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain developed with a research-driven approach and formal methods. ADA is its native coin, used to pay transaction fees and to delegate stake to pools that produce blocks. Cardano uses an extended UTXO model and supports native tokens and smart contracts. Holders can delegate ADA while keeping it in their own wallet.
People exchange ADA to enter or leave the Cardano ecosystem, to fund a wallet for staking or applications, or to switch into other coins. On BreezeSwap you send ADA to a one-time deposit address for your order and receive the payout directly in your wallet. No account or sign-up is required. Most exchanges take 5–30 minutes from the moment your deposit is sent.

Tips for sending and receiving ADA
- Current Cardano addresses start with addr1. Use an addr1 address from your wallet for payouts.
- Sending ADA requires a small fee in ADA. Receiving ADA does not require any fee.
- Only send ADA to an ADA deposit address. Cardano native tokens need an order created for that specific token.

Cardano exchange FAQ
Use a Cardano address starting with addr1 from your wallet's receive screen. Older legacy formats exist, but an addr1 address is the standard choice.
Staking is delegated per wallet, and ADA you send in a swap leaves your wallet. ADA you receive into a delegated wallet is included in that wallet's stake.
Most exchanges take 5–30 minutes, depending on network confirmations and the coin you receive.
