How to Get ADA

Last updated: July 10, 2025

ADA is real money on Cardano. To use Vendano, you’ll need to get some. Here are three steps to add some to your account:

1. Choose a trusted exchange

Sign up at a well‑known site or app such as Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, Gemini, Bitstamp, or Crypto.com. On mobile, download their official app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (confirm the publisher name in the store or look for HTTPS/lock icons on a website before you log in).

2. Buy ADA

Link your bank account or debit card, then buy the amount you want. Check the fees before you confirm your purchase.

3. Send ADA to Vendano

In Vendano, tap “Receive” and copy your wallet address exactly. On the exchange’s “Send” or “Withdraw” screen, paste that address, enter the ADA amount, and send. It should arrive in a few minutes (it takes the blockchain a short moment to update).

Safety tips

• Go direct: Always open vendano.net yourself or use our official app.
• Protect your recovery phrase: Vendano (and any legitimate app) never asks for your 12/15/24‑word phrase unless you have to re-import your wallet; keep it written offline and use it only to restore your wallet.
• Verify your address: After pasting an addr value, double‑check that the first and last three characters match. (That's the best way to make sure there are no typos.)
• Compare fees: Different exchanges charge different rates. Choose the best one for you.
