ADA

What is Cardano?

Cardano (ADA) is a third-generation blockchain platform built on peer-reviewed research and formal verification methods. Developed by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano takes a methodical, academic approach to solving blockchain scalability, interoperability, and sustainability. ADA is used for staking, governance voting, and paying transaction fees on the network. Cardano's Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol is one of the most energy-efficient in the industry. The platform supports smart contracts through Plutus and continues to expand its DeFi and real-world application ecosystem.

DEGEN

What is Degen?

Degen (DEGEN) is a term commonly used in the crypto community to refer to high-risk, high-reward investments. A token named DEGEN may be associated with projects that embrace this culture. Due to the speculative nature, users should exercise caution and conduct thorough research.

ADA to DEGEN: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging ADA to DEGEN on GhostSwap.

How long does it take to swap ADA to DEGEN on GhostSwap?
Most ADA to DEGEN 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 DEGEN is sent to your wallet, and Base confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ADA to DEGEN?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Base address that should receive the DEGEN, send ADA from your own wallet, and the DEGEN goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Cardano to Degen?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DEGEN 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 DEGEN?
To receive Degen from your swap, we recommend using Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the Base (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DEGEN address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the DEGEN address?
Use a Base address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending DEGEN to an address on another network can lose the coins.
Can I track my ADA to DEGEN 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 DEGEN on BaseScan (https://basescan.org).
Is it safe to exchange ADA for DEGEN on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ADA deposit is converted and the DEGEN is sent straight to the Base address you enter, so check that address twice, Base transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain ADA to DEGEN swap work?
Cardano lives on Cardano and Degen on Base, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ADA on Cardano and pays native DEGEN on Base, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ADA to DEGEN 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.
