Start XLM to ADA swapHow it works
-
1
Confirm the rate
The swap opens pre-filled with XLM sending into ADA. Compare the live quotes side by side and pick the rate you are happy with.
-
2
Send the exact amount
Send exactly the XLM amount shown to the deposit address, on the network the swap specifies. The address belongs to this order only.

Once the deposit has enough confirmations, the provider converts and sends ADA to the wallet address you entered. The order page tracks every stage.

- The order page tracks the deposit, conversion and payout as they happen.
Before you send XLM
The Stellar to Cardano pair is quoted live. CoinKong asks its exchange providers what they can route for XLM into ADA right now and shows only the offers that came back. A quote is a short-lived snapshot: if you refresh later, the expected ADA amount can move with the market, provider liquidity and network conditions.
Choose the Stellar network that matches the wallet you send from. Some assets exist on more than one chain under the same ticker, and sending XLM on the wrong network can mean the deposit is not recognised. Send the exact amount shown on the order page, include any memo or destination tag it displays, and keep the public CK reference for that order.
A floating XLM to ADA rate is settled when your deposit arrives, while a fixed rate is held for the deposit window shown with the quote. The fee and the expected ADA output are visible before you confirm, and there is no separate CoinKong charge added at checkout. CoinKong never holds your coins or private keys: the provider you pick pays out to the Cardano address you entered.
XLM to ADA questions
How long does a XLM to ADA swap take?
Mostly the networks decide: the deposit needs confirmations on Stellar, then the provider converts and sends Cardano. Many pairs finish in a few minutes; slower networks take longer. The order page shows the live stage.
What are the fees for swapping XLM to ADA?
You see the provider fee and the expected ADA receive amount before you confirm, so there is no surprise later. Network fees are charged by the networks themselves and are already accounted for in the quoted receive amount.
Do I need an account to swap XLM to ADA?
No. The swap works without an account or sign-up from CoinKong. The only thing you provide is the Cardano wallet address that receives the payout.
