## Leaving Ethereum DeFi: AAVE swapped for native ALGO

AAVE is the governance token of Aave, a lending protocol where users supply and borrow crypto. Holders vote on protocol changes and can stake the token. ALGO is the native coin of Algorand, a pure proof-of-stake chain where ALGO pays fees and secures the network. This pair takes AAVE from Ethereum and pays native ALGO to your own Algorand wallet, with no account.

The AAVE deposit needs ETH for gas and confirms in about 2 to 5 minutes. Algorand does not wait for extra confirmations, so the ALGO is spendable seconds after the payout is sent, and most swaps finish in 10 to 25 minutes. Only AAVE in your wallet can be sent. Tokens supplied to Aave or staked as stkAAVE must be withdrawn first, and stkAAVE has a cooldown before you can redeem it.

### Tips

- Paste an Algorand address (58 characters, capital letters and digits) from Pera or Defly. An Ethereum 0x address cannot receive ALGO.
- No opt-in is needed. ALGO is Algorand's native coin, so any Algorand account can receive it. Opt-ins are only for Algorand Standard Assets.
- Send AAVE from your own Ethereum wallet with ETH for gas, and enter that 0x address as the refund address.

### Can I swap AAVE to ALGO without KYC?

Yes. Standard swaps work without an account, email or ID. Paste your Algorand address, check the floating rate and send the AAVE from your own wallet.

### Can I send aAAVE or stkAAVE instead of AAVE?

No. Those are separate tokens. Withdraw your supply in the Aave app, or finish the staking cooldown and redeem, so that plain AAVE is back in your wallet. Then send it.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap AAVE to ALGO on GhostSwap?

Most AAVE to ALGO swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the AAVE deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the ALGO is sent to your wallet, and Algorand confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 AAVE in ALGO?

At 8 Oct 2026, 08:27 UTC, 1 AAVE swapped to about 1,356.81 ALGO on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.18 AAVE. The rate floats with the market until your AAVE deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### What are the fees for converting Aave to Algorand?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ALGO amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending AAVE.

### What wallet should I use to receive ALGO?

To receive Algorand from your swap, we recommend using Pera or Defly. Make sure your wallet supports the Algorand network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ALGO address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ALGO address?

Use an Algorand address: it is 58 characters of capital letters and digits. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my AAVE to ALGO swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your AAVE payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ALGO on Allo (https://allo.info).

### Is it safe to exchange AAVE for ALGO on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your AAVE deposit is converted and the ALGO is sent straight to the Algorand address you enter, so check that address twice, Algorand transfers cannot be reversed.

### How does a cross-chain AAVE to ALGO swap work?

Aave lives on Ethereum and Algorand on Algorand, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your AAVE on Ethereum and pays native ALGO on Algorand, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my AAVE to ALGO exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the AAVE is refunded to the Ethereum address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
