ALGO to QNT: Swap Algorand for Quant (ERC-20), No KYC

An Algorand wallet such as Pera or Defly often holds more than ALGO. Stablecoins and other tokens on Algorand are Algorand Standard Assets, and they sit at the same 58-character address. This pair accepts native ALGO only. Sending any other asset to the deposit address will not count as this deposit.

Algorand also keeps a small minimum balance locked in every account, and each extra asset the account has opted into raises it. Your wallet will not let you send the full balance. Enter an amount that leaves that reserve in place, and the transfer will go through.

Fees on Algorand are paid in ALGO and are small, so you need no second coin to make the deposit. The network confirms it in under a minute, and the transaction shows on Allo under your address.

Quant issued QNT as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, and that is the version this pair pays. The payout address starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger account. A 58-character Algorand address cannot hold QNT.

Many wallets do not list QNT by default. If the balance does not appear after the payout, search for Quant in your wallet's token list on the Ethereum network, or open your address on Etherscan, where every token transfer is listed. Check that the token you add is the one Etherscan shows arriving, not a look-alike.

Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. An empty, newly made wallet can receive QNT without any ETH in it, so the destination does not need preparing beyond copying the address.

The catch with a token payout is the fee coin. QNT moves on Ethereum, and every transfer, approval or deposit into an app costs ETH. A wallet that holds QNT and no ETH cannot send it anywhere.

Coming from Algorand, where fees are paid in ALGO and stay small, this is easy to forget. Mainnet gas is usually much higher than an Algorand fee and changes with network load. Before you need to move the QNT, get some ETH into the same 0x address. The gas fee guide covers when Ethereum is cheaper to use.

If you only plan to hold QNT for a while, the payout can go straight to a Ledger and wait there. If you would rather end up with a token that pays its own fees, ALGO to ETH gives you ETH itself.

Read the table from left to right and you see the swap: a self-contained native coin turns into a token that leans on ETH. Neither address works on the other chain, so you need an Ethereum wallet ready before you fill in the form.

The exchange box gives the QNT amount you receive after fees for the ALGO you enter. It is quoted from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets, and the reference rate nearby is the market price for 1 ALGO in QNT before fees. The rate floats until your ALGO deposit confirms.

Because ALGO confirms in under a minute, the gap between sending and the locked rate is short. After that, most swaps finish within minutes, plus the Ethereum confirmation for the QNT. The box shows the pair's minimum and maximum before you send anything.

As a no-KYC crypto exchange, GhostSwap collects nothing about you; the Ethereum address, the Algorand sender address and the deposit are the whole process. To go back the other way later, use QNT to ALGO.

If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered. For this pair that is ALGO, returned to your Algorand address, so use your own Pera or Defly account, not an exchange deposit address that may not credit a refund.

Each ALGO to QNT swap gets its own status page, reached through the swap ID. It shows when the ALGO is seen and confirmed and when the QNT is sent, with links to the transactions on Allo and Etherscan.

If Allo shows your ALGO transfer confirmed and the status page has not changed for a long while, write to support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID and the Algorand transaction ID. Do not send the ALGO again.
