## FAQ

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

Most ADA to POPCAT 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 POPCAT is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

To receive Popcat from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your POPCAT address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the POPCAT address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending POPCAT to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my ADA to POPCAT 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 POPCAT on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ADA to POPCAT 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.
