## FAQ

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

Most ADA to DASH 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 DASH is sent to your wallet, and Dash confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ADA in DASH?

1 ADA is worth about 0.004836 DASH at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 11 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the DASH 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 DASH?

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

### What are the fees for converting Cardano to Dash?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DASH 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 DASH?

To receive Dash from your swap, we recommend using Dash Core or DashPay (formerly Dash Wallet). Make sure your wallet supports the Dash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DASH address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the DASH address?

Use a Dash address: it starts with X. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ADA to DASH 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 DASH on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/dash).

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

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

### Can my ADA to DASH swap be traced?

Your ADA transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Cardano blockchain since Cardano is transparent: all transactions visible on Cardanoscan. However, once your DASH arrives in your wallet, Dash privacy is optional: standard transactions are transparent, but CoinJoin mixing adds a layer of privacy. By swapping ADA to DASH on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

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

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

### What happens if my ADA to DASH 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.
