## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap ADA to BCH on GhostSwap?

Most ADA to BCH swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ADA deposit needs a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds) to confirm on Cardano, then the BCH is sent to your wallet, and Bitcoin Cash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ADA in BCH?

1 ADA is worth about 0.000808 BCH at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the BCH network fee. The rate floats with the market until your ADA deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ADA to BCH?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bitcoin Cash address that should receive the BCH, send ADA from your own wallet, and the BCH goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Cardano to Bitcoin Cash?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the BCH amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Cardano network fee for your deposit is paid in ADA by your wallet.

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

To receive Bitcoin Cash from your swap, we recommend using Electron Cash or Cashonize. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin Cash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BCH address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BCH address?

Use a Bitcoin Cash address: it starts with bitcoincash:q, q or 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ADA to BCH 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 ADA payment on Cardanoscan (https://cardanoscan.io) and your incoming BCH on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash).

### Is it safe to exchange ADA for BCH on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain ADA to BCH swap work?

Cardano lives on Cardano and Bitcoin Cash on Bitcoin Cash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ADA on Cardano and pays native BCH on Bitcoin Cash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my ADA to BCH exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ADA is refunded to the Cardano 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.
