ALGO

What is Algorand?

Algorand (ALGO) is a scalable blockchain platform designed for speed, security, and true decentralization. Founded by MIT professor and Turing Award winner Silvio Micali, Algorand uses a pure proof-of-stake consensus mechanism that achieves instant finality — meaning transactions are confirmed and irreversible in seconds. ALGO is used for transaction fees, staking, and governance. The platform is particularly popular for real-world asset tokenization, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and carbon credit markets.

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.

ALGO to DEGEN: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap ALGO to DEGEN on GhostSwap?
Most ALGO to DEGEN swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ALGO deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Algorand, 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 ALGO to DEGEN?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Base address that should receive the DEGEN, send ALGO 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 Algorand 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 Algorand network fee for your deposit is paid in ALGO 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 ALGO 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 ALGO payment on Allo (https://allo.info) and your incoming DEGEN on BaseScan (https://basescan.org).
Is it safe to exchange ALGO for DEGEN on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ALGO 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 ALGO to DEGEN swap work?
Algorand lives on Algorand and Degen on Base, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ALGO on Algorand and pays native DEGEN on Base, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ALGO to DEGEN exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the ALGO is refunded to the Algorand 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.
