1

Select Pair

Select Cardano (ADA) as your send asset and choose the token you want to receive in return. When you're swapping ADA for hundreds of other assets, we find the best available rate for your ADA swap automatically.

2

Enter Amount

Type in the exact amount of Cardano you want to swap. Our engine pulls live ADA rates across multiple liquidity sources and shows you exactly how much you'll receive, no hidden fees on your ADA, no surprises.

3

Paste Address

Paste the receiving wallet address where your swapped ADA should be delivered. Double-check the Cardano address before proceeding, once your ADA swap is submitted, the destination cannot be changed.

4

Confirm Swap

Review your full ADA swap details, the amount of Cardano you're sending, the token you'll receive, the live exchange rate, and your destination wallet. Once everything looks right, confirm your ADA swap to generate your unique deposit address.

5

Deposit Amount

Transfer the exact amount of Cardano shown to your unique deposit address. Send ADA only to this address, do not send other tokens. Once your ADA transaction is confirmed on the Cardano network, your swap executes automatically. Most ADA swaps complete within a couple of minutes.

6

Stay untraceable!

Your ADA has been swapped and delivered privately to your wallet. No account, no KYC, no custody of your Cardano; ever. Swap ADA again anytime in minutes.

Why swap Cardano privately?

Cardano exposes more about a holder than most chains, because staking is built into the address itself. Every ADA address carries a staking credential, which means the wallet you transact from and the stake you delegate are linked by design, and a single address can reveal your entire balance across every address sharing that credential. Add an eUTXO ledger where change outputs tie transactions together, and one ADA address can map your whole position. Swapping privately breaks that link.

Breaking the Stake Credential Link

Cardano addresses combine a payment credential with a staking credential, so every address in a wallet shares the same stake key. Anyone who sees one of your addresses can query the stake key and pull the total balance held across all of them, along with your full delegation history. That is a level of aggregation most chains do not offer. A private swap moves funds to a destination under a different stake credential, so the two positions never resolve to the same holder.

Keeping Delegation and Rewards Out of Public View

Stake pool delegation on Cardano is public. Anyone can see which pool you delegate to, how much you have staked, how long you have been delegating, and every reward you have earned. Watched over time, that reveals both the size of your position and when you move it. Routing through a private layer means the wallet you stake from carries no visible connection to the one that funded it.

Breaking the eUTXO Trail and Change Clustering

Cardano's eUTXO model means every ADA you spend carries a traceable history, and every transaction produces change that ties straight back to your wallet. Analytics tools follow that change to cluster addresses and build a picture of your holdings, the same way they do on Bitcoin. A private swap gives you a clean starting point with no prior clustering and no inherited history.

Spend Cardano Anonymously

Use your ADA to pay for goods, services, or subscriptions without leaving a traceable spending trail. Swap ADA and spend from a private wallet that can't be linked back to your financial history.

Move ADA Between Exchanges Without Linking Your Wallets

ADA moves regularly between exchanges and self-custody, and every transfer leaves a permanent link between the addresses at each end, along with the stake credentials behind them. Swap through a private layer first and the receiving deposit carries no on-chain connection to the wallet or venue it came from, keeping your positions and your trading activity separate.

Off-Ramp ADA Without Revealing Your Position

Ready to exit? Swap your ADA into USDT or USDC through a private layer first, keeping your main wallet and any delegated stake completely separate from your off-ramp. Sell without exposing the full size of your holdings or linking your delegation history to the address you cash out from.

About Cardano

ADA is the native token of Cardano, a proof-of-stake blockchain built on peer-reviewed research and an extended UTXO accounting model. ADA is used to pay transaction fees, to delegate stake to pools for network security and rewards, and to participate in on-chain governance. Balances, delegation, and rewards are all recorded publicly on the ledger.
