What to know about Cardano and Stellar
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano (ADA) is a Proof of Stake blockchain launched in 2017 and led by Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum. The project is known for its research-driven, peer-reviewed approach to development.
Sending and receiving ADA
Cardano addresses start with addr1. Fees are low and predictable. A wallet may require a small minimum amount of ADA to accompany token transfers.
Stellar (XLM)
Stellar (XLM) is a payments network founded in 2014 by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim and supported by the non-profit Stellar Development Foundation. XLM (lumens) is its native asset.
How Stellar works
Stellar uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol, in which trusted validators confirm transactions every few seconds without mining. Banks and payment companies ("anchors") issue tokenized fiat currencies on the network.
How to exchange Cardano to Stellar
- Enter the ADA amount in the calculator (minimum 818.0428 ADA) and click “Go to exchange”.
- Enter your XLM wallet address on the Stellar network and your contact details. If you receive to an exchange, add the Memo.
- Send exactly the specified amount of ADA on the Cardano network to the details shown in the order.
- Once the transfer is confirmed, Stellar is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.
What to check before exchanging ADA to XLM
- The recipient address must be on the Stellar network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
- If the recipient wallet requires a Memo, be sure to include it in the order.
- The amount sent must be at least 818.0428 ADA.
- Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
- Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
