## FAQ

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

Most ALGO to PONKE swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ALGO deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Algorand, then the PONKE 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 ALGO to PONKE?

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

### What are the fees for converting Algorand to PONKE?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ALGO to PONKE 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.
