APE to DEGEN: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap APE to DEGEN on GhostSwap?
Most APE to DEGEN swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the APE deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, 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 APE to DEGEN?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Base address that should receive the DEGEN, send APE 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 ApeCoin 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, your wallet needs a little ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending APE.
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 APE 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 APE payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming DEGEN on BaseScan (https://basescan.org).
Is it safe to exchange APE for DEGEN on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your APE 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 APE to DEGEN swap work?
ApeCoin lives on Ethereum and Degen on Base, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your APE on Ethereum and pays native DEGEN on Base, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my APE to DEGEN exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the APE is refunded to the Ethereum 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.
