## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap ARB to ATOM on GhostSwap?

Most ARB to ATOM swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your ARB deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Arbitrum One; after that the ATOM is sent to your wallet and Cosmos Hub confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ARB to ATOM?

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

### What are the fees for converting Arbitrum to Cosmos?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ATOM amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH on Arbitrum to pay the Arbitrum One network fee for sending ARB.

### What wallet should I use to receive ATOM?

To receive Cosmos from your swap, we recommend using Keplr or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cosmos Hub network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ATOM address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ATOM address?

Use a Cosmos Hub address: it starts with cosmos1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

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

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

### Can I track my ARB to ATOM 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 ARB payment on Arbiscan (https://arbiscan.io) and your incoming ATOM on Mintscan (https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos).

### Is it safe to exchange ARB for ATOM on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain ARB to ATOM swap work?

Arbitrum lives on Arbitrum One and Cosmos on Cosmos Hub, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ARB on Arbitrum One and pays native ATOM on Cosmos Hub, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my ARB to ATOM exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ARB is refunded to the Arbitrum One 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.
