## FAQ

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

Most ARB to BTC swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your ARB deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Arbitrum One; after that the BTC is sent to your wallet and Bitcoin confirms it in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

To receive Bitcoin from your swap, we recommend using Electrum, Sparrow Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BTC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BTC address?

Use a Bitcoin address: it starts with bc1, 3 or 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ARB to BTC 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 BTC on Mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ARB to BTC 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.
