ADA to XTZ at a glance
Cardano and Tezos live on different blockchains, and this swap uses the native assets on both, with no bridge contract and no wrapped token. The exchange receives ADA on Cardano and pays out XTZ on Tezos.
Your XTZ is paid on Tezos. Use an address that starts with tz1, tz2 or tz3. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty.

ADA to XTZ: questions and answers
How do I swap ADA to XTZ without KYC?
Enter the ADA amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your XTZ address and send your ADA to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The XTZ is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the ADA to XTZ exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 ADA ≈ 0.708516 XTZ (the best of 13 offers for 1,000 ADA). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
What are the minimum and maximum for ADA to XTZ?
The minimum is about 11 ADA and the maximum about 3,422,165 ADA. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a ADA to XTZ swap take?
Usually around 12 min. Most of that is waiting for your ADA deposit to confirm on Cardano, which takes about 2-5 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping ADA to XTZ anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Cardano and Tezos are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which XTZ address should I use?
Your XTZ is paid on Tezos. Use an address that starts with tz1, tz2 or tz3. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the ADA to XTZ rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Tezos network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Cardano network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap XTZ back to ADA?
Yes. The reverse direction, XTZ to ADA, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
