How the swap works

Send DCR to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ADA is paid to your wallet.

- If a deposit sits unconfirmed, check chain status β congestion can slow inclusion β privacy-first on PrivSwap.

Privacy swap FAQ
Does DCR to ADA require KYC or an account?
No. PrivSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Decred to Cardano.
How long until ADA arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Decred mainnet deposit confirmations and Cardano mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold DCR or ADA for me?
No. You send DCR from a wallet you control and ADA is paid to the address you provide β PrivSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send DCR on the wrong chain?
Use Decred mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
