## FAQ

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

Most ADA to ICP swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your ADA deposit needs a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds) to confirm on Cardano; after that the ICP is sent to your wallet and Internet Computer confirms it in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Cardano to Internet Computer?

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

To receive Internet Computer from your swap, we recommend using NNS dapp, Plug, or OISY. Make sure your wallet supports the Internet Computer network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ICP address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ICP address?

Use a Internet Computer address: it is a 64-character account ID. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ADA to ICP 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 ICP on the ICP Dashboard (https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ADA to ICP 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.
