Tunnel in 3 steps

  1. Choose how much XLM to send and paste the Cardano address that should receive funds on Cardano mainnet.

  2. Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.

  3. Broadcast XLM to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ADA is pushed to your payout wallet.

Before you broadcast

  • Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
  • A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
  • Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
  • Still waiting on ADA? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
You send

Stellar — fast payments network

XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.

Sending XLM on Stellar

Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.

If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.

You receive

Cardano — research-driven layer-1

ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.

ADA payout delays

Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.

When will ADA arrive?

Cardano block times are around 20 seconds — payouts typically follow within several blocks.

  • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
  • Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
  • Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.
