ADA
Cardano prices a transfer by its size in bytes, not by demand. So the cost is predictable in a way most chains are not: the same transfer costs the same at any hour. Slots come about every twenty seconds.

The wallet quotes a single amount with the fee inside it. Because Cardano’s own fee does not move with congestion, the number you are quoted is unusually stable.
Questions
How long does an ADA transfer take?
About twenty seconds between slots. The wallet shows the estimate before you sign.
Do fees spike at busy times?
Cardano’s fee is a function of transaction size rather than demand, so it stays flat where other chains’ rise.
Does the wallet hold Cardano native tokens?
No, ADA only. Cardano carries other assets, none of them supported here; sending one to this address would lose it.
