WHY ADA WITH GUARDA
Why buy Cardano with Guarda
Quick answer: choose an amount, compare the provider's final quote, complete any required verification and receive ADA at a Cardano address controlled by your wallet. Guarda does not custody the purchased asset; the fiat provider handles the payment.
- ADA is used for transfers, fees, governance and proof-of-stake delegation.
- Use a Cardano address for the Cardano mainnet. Verify that the address begins with the expected network prefix before confirming.
- ADA is volatile. Staking rewards vary and are not guaranteed; delegation does not remove market risk.
What to check before buying ADA
Network and address
Use a Cardano address for the Cardano mainnet. Verify that the address begins with the expected network prefix before confirming.
Fees and final price
The market price above is a reference, not an offer. Compare the provider fee, exchange-rate spread, blockchain fee and any card-issuer charge shown at checkout.
Risk to understand
ADA is volatile. Staking rewards vary and are not guaranteed; delegation does not remove market risk.
How Cardano fits a self-custody wallet
ADA is used for transfers, fees, governance and proof-of-stake delegation. Self-custody means the wallet's recovery phrase controls access, so losing it can permanently remove access and exposing it can let another person move the funds.
Availability is not universal. Payment methods, identity checks, limits and supported networks depend on the integrated provider and the customer's jurisdiction. A successful card authorization also does not guarantee a fixed blockchain confirmation time.

Buying Cardano — FAQ
Timing depends on the payment provider, identity checks, payment method and Cardano confirmations. The provider shows the current estimate before payment.
Creating a self-custody Guarda wallet does not require a custodial account. The regulated fiat provider may still require identity verification based on your region, payment method and order size.
Available methods can include Visa or Mastercard cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer. The exact list, minimum and limits are set by the provider and your region.
The final quote can include a provider fee, exchange-rate spread, blockchain network fee and a fee charged by your bank. Review the checkout total rather than relying only on the market reference shown here.
Verify the network and destination, use only official wallet downloads, and never share a recovery phrase or private key. No legitimate support agent needs those secrets.
