## FAQ

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

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

### How much is 1 ADA in RAY?

1 ADA is worth about 0.104057 RAY 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 RAY 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 RAY?

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

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

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

To receive Raydium 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 RAY address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the RAY 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 RAY to an address on another network can lose the coins.

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

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ADA deposit is converted and the RAY 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 RAY swap work?

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

### What happens if my ADA to RAY 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.
