About Cardano
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain founded by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, built with a research-driven, peer-reviewed approach to protocol development.
Donate Cardano or send leftover ADA
Whether you're looking to donate Cardano, figure out what to do with leftover ADA, or just clear a small amount of ADA dust out of an old wallet, this page covers it — scan the QR code below or copy the address, no account or minimum required.
Cardano wallet address
Scan the QR code or copy the address below. Double-check it's on the Cardano Network before sending.
Why people send leftover Cardano
ADA staking rewards accumulate in small increments over time, and it's common for wallets to end up holding tiny, easy-to-forget balances from rewards or leftover change after a swap.
How to send it
Find the withdraw or send option for ADA.
Scanning is usually fastest from a phone; copy/paste works well on desktop.
Cardano uses its own address format (starting with "addr1") and its own independent network — it is not EVM-compatible and will not work with an Ethereum-style 0x address.
Once everything matches, confirm the transaction. You can verify it landed using the Cardanoscan link above.
Fees to expect
Cardano network fees are low and fairly predictable, typically well under a dollar for a standard transaction, and don't spike as sharply during congestion as some other networks.
