Do I need a memo when sending TON on the native TON network for this swap?

Yes — when sending TON via the native TON network, a memo is required alongside the deposit address. Copy both the address and the memo exactly as displayed before sending. Omitting or mistyping the memo can result in funds being undeliverable. If you are sending TON as a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain instead, no memo applies.

Which network should I choose for receiving ADA after swapping from TON?

Your ADA receive network must match the network you select for the swap output — either the native Cardano (ADA) network or BNB Smart Chain. Native ADA lands in a standard Cardano wallet and can be used directly for staking or on-chain activity. BEP-20 ADA on BNB Smart Chain is a wrapped token and is not the same asset — confirm which form your receiving wallet or platform supports before proceeding.

Why do traders commonly swap TON into ADA?

Users often move into ADA to access Cardano's staking mechanism, where ADA holders can delegate to stake pools without locking funds. Others swap in order to use Cardano-based decentralised applications or to diversify across proof-of-stake networks with distinct technical architectures. The exchange is purely a value transfer — Zest does not offer staking itself.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for TON to ADA?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of ADA you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your TON deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

How long does a TON to ADA exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your TON deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and ADA network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

Do I need an account to exchange TON for ADA?

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send TON from your own wallet and receive ADA at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.

Swapping TON for ADA is a common move for users shifting value from The Open Network ecosystem into Cardano's proof-of-stake platform, often to participate in staking or interact with Cardano-based applications. Both assets are available on their native chains as well as BNB Smart Chain, giving users flexibility in how they route the exchange. Choosing the right network on both sides is essential, as TON on its native network behaves differently from a BEP-20 token version.

How to swap TON for ADA

1
Open the exchange widget and select TON as the send currency and ADA as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of TON you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your ADA wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it. Select the network your wallet supports -- the receive network must match where your address lives.
4
Click Exchange and send your TON to the deposit address shown. Your ADA arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging TON → ADA

Before confirming this swap, verify which network you are sending TON from — native TON or BNB Smart Chain — and ensure your ADA receiving address matches that same logical path, selecting either the native ADA network or BNB Smart Chain accordingly. If you are sending TON via the native TON network, a memo is required; check whether your sending wallet or platform generates one automatically, and include it exactly as shown or your funds may not be credited. On the ADA side, no memo or destination tag is needed regardless of the receiving address. Settlement time can vary depending on network conditions and the number of confirmations required on each chain, so allow some time before following up on a pending swap. Double-check your ADA address carefully before confirming — Cardano addresses are long and a single error means funds cannot be recovered.
