Three steps on Web3Swap
-
Enter the ADA size and paste the Bitcoin payout address for Bitcoin mainnet on this Web3Swap ticket.
-
Confirm Exchange to lock the live Web3Swap quote and reveal this ticket’s deposit details.
-
Broadcast exactly that ADA amount to the deposit. After Cardano mainnet confirms, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
- Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
- If BTC is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the ticket. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — Web3Swap has no login that lists expired orders.
Cardano tickets — ADA address format
ADA is Cardano’s native proof-of-stake asset. On Web3Swap, paste a mainnet address your wallet owns and broadcast only ADA — wrong-network sends will not credit the ticket.
Sending ADA
Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.
Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.
Bitcoin tickets on Web3Swap — keep the keys
Bitcoin is still the deepest funding rail. Web3Swap keeps you self-custodial end to end: check the quote, broadcast native BTC, then receive XMR, ETH, stables, or another indexed asset — never a hosted balance.
When can I spend the BTC payout?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
How to verify a BTC payout
- Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
- Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
- Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.
Asset hubs
More anonymous no-KYC lanes and chain notes for each coin.
FAQ for this route
Do I need KYC or a Web3Swap login for ADA → BTC?
No. A standard Cardano → Bitcoin ticket on Web3Swap skips signup and ID upload. You stay self-custodial on both legs.
How soon does BTC usually arrive?
After the Cardano mainnet deposit is final, many payouts leave within minutes. Congestion on Cardano mainnet or Bitcoin mainnet can stretch that — mempools and fees set the clock, not a compliance hold.
Does Web3Swap custody my ADA or BTC?
No. You broadcast ADA from a wallet you control; BTC pays only to the address you paste. Nothing sits as a named Web3Swap balance.
What if I send ADA on the wrong rail?
Match Cardano mainnet exactly as printed on the Web3Swap ticket badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — verify before you broadcast.
