Network notes

What to know before bridging to Cardano

Every Cardano output must carry a minimum amount of ADA, so tiny transfers can be rejected by the network. The live quote shows the current minimum.

ADA routes are currently served by NEAR Intents.

Native asset
ADA
Address format
A Shelley address starting with addr1. Byron-era addresses (Ae2…, DdzFF…) are legacy and should be avoided.
Deposits from this network
Cardano deposits are usually accepted within about 2–5 minutes.
Fees
Platform, network and protocol fees are all already included in every quote. The swap box shows the total before you confirm.

How do I bridge to Cardano?

Pick what you want to send and a Cardano asset to receive, enter an amount and compare the live routes. Add your Cardano address and a refund address on the source network, then send the exact deposit — from any wallet or exchange — or connect a supported wallet and approve one transfer.

How do I bridge out of Cardano?

Reverse the pair: choose a Cardano asset to send and what you want on the other network, for example native BTC, ETH or USDT. You receive the native asset at your own address, not a wrapped IOU, and your refund address is on Cardano.

How long does bridging to Cardano take?

It depends mostly on the network you send from. From Bitcoin, expect about 10–30 minutes depending on the protocol; from Ethereum, Solana and other fast networks, usually a few minutes. Sending from Cardano: Cardano deposits are usually accepted within about 2–5 minutes. Each live quote shows its own estimate.

Which protocols can bridge to Cardano?

NEAR Intents serves Cardano routes on TorrentSwap. The swap box lists every protocol that responds for your pair and amount, by name, ranked by what you receive.

What address do I need on Cardano?

A Shelley address starting with addr1. Byron-era addresses (Ae2…, DdzFF…) are legacy and should be avoided.

Do I need an account to bridge to Cardano?

No. There is no sign-up and no email. The protocols that execute swaps can apply their own compliance screening, for example against sanctioned addresses, and every transaction stays visible on its public blockchain.

Is bridging to Cardano safe?

No cross-chain transfer is risk-free. TorrentSwap never holds your funds; the executing protocol holds them briefly while the swap settles, as described on each route. Check the network, both addresses and the quote before sending, and never share a seed phrase with anyone.
