## FAQ

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

Most ADA to LINK 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 LINK is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ADA in LINK?

1 ADA is worth about 0.017807 LINK 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 LINK 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 LINK?

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

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

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

To receive Link from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your LINK address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the LINK address?

Use an Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending LINK to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my ADA to LINK 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 LINK on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ADA to LINK 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.
