Solana‑specific notes
- No memo required for native SOL transfers.
- Fees are minimal; finalization is quick under normal conditions.
- Verify the SOL leg with Solscan/SolanaFM if needed.
Fees, confirmations, and timing
- Fees: SOL send fee is tiny. ADA network fees are modest. You’ll see total fees upfront.
- Confirmations: After SOL confirms, ADA is broadcast to your address.
- Timing: Typically quick overall; network conditions can vary.
Quotes and expirations
- Fixed quotes require sending within the timer.
- Floating quotes execute at the market rate when SOL arrives.
- Minor under/overpayments may auto‑recalculate; larger deviations can pause or refund.
Fixed vs floating
- Fixed: Guarantees the ADA amount if you send on time.
- Floating: Gives timing flexibility; final ADA may vary slightly.
Privacy checklist
- Use a fresh ADA address when possible.
- Avoid publicly linking your addresses to profiles.
- Split very large swaps across multiple windows to reduce clustering.
- Keep wallets updated for accurate fees and smooth broadcasts.
Prices
Worked example
- You hold 80 SOL and want ADA to your new Nami address.
- Fixed quote: Send 80.0000 SOL within the window and receive the quoted ADA.
- Floating quote: Send 80.0000 SOL and receive ADA at the execution rate.
Troubleshooting
- ADA hasn’t arrived: Confirm SOL finalization; then check a Cardano explorer for payout status.
- Incompatible address: Ensure you used a Cardano mainnet address starting with
addr1…. - Expired quote: Create a fresh quote and resend within the timer.
