## Algorand to Hedera: sending HBAR to a 0.0.x account

ALGO and HBAR are the native coins of two fast networks that finalize transactions within seconds, but their accounts look nothing alike. Algorand uses 58-character addresses, while Hedera identifies each account by a numeric ID such as 0.0.12345. This pair suits Algorand holders who want HBAR to pay Hedera fees, use Hedera apps through HashPack, or stake natively, with no account.

Algorand blocks are final once added, so the ALGO deposit is credited quickly, and Hedera reaches consensus on the payout within seconds, which keeps most swaps to 5 to 15 minutes. Because the HBAR is paid to an account ID, the Hedera account must already exist. Create it in your wallet before you start.

### Tips

- Enter your Hedera account ID in the 0.0.12345 form. Leave off any checksum suffix such as -abcde, and do not paste the 0x EVM address.
- Fill in the memo field only when the HBAR is going to an exchange that gave you a memo. A HashPack account needs none.
- Refunds come back as ALGO to the Algorand address you enter, so use the Pera or Defly address you send from. Tokens issued on Algorand (ASAs) cannot be used for this deposit.

### Can I swap ALGO to HBAR without KYC?

Yes. Standard swaps ask for no account, email or ID. Give your Hedera account ID, fill in the memo only if an exchange asked for one, check the floating rate and send the ALGO.

### Does staking HBAR lock it?

No. With Hedera's native staking the HBAR never leaves your account and there is no lock-up period, so you can spend it at any time. Rewards are credited to the staking account.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap ALGO to HBAR on GhostSwap?

Most ALGO to HBAR swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ALGO deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Algorand, then the HBAR is sent to your wallet, and Hedera confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ALGO in HBAR?

1 ALGO is worth about 1.3807 HBAR at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 12 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the HBAR network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 240 ALGO. The rate floats with the market until your ALGO deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### What are the fees for converting Algorand to Hedera Hashgraph?

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

To receive Hedera Hashgraph from your swap, we recommend using HashPack. Make sure your wallet supports the Hedera network before starting the exchange. Double-check your HBAR address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the HBAR address?

Use a Hedera address: it is an account ID such as 0.0.12345. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Do I need a Memo to receive HBAR?

Only if the HBAR goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Memo; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal HBAR wallet does not need one.

### Can I track my ALGO to HBAR 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 HBAR on HashScan (https://hashscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange ALGO for HBAR on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain ALGO to HBAR swap work?

Algorand lives on Algorand and Hedera Hashgraph on Hedera, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ALGO on Algorand and pays native HBAR on Hedera, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my ALGO to HBAR 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.
