Most ATOM to ALGO swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ATOM deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Cosmos Hub, then the ALGO is sent to your wallet, and Algorand confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 ATOM in ALGO? 1 ATOM is worth about 14.5593 ALGO at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 12 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ALGO network fee. The rate floats with the market until your ATOM deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ATOM to ALGO? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Algorand address that should receive the ALGO, send ATOM from your own wallet, and the ALGO goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Cosmos to Algorand? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ALGO amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Cosmos Hub network fee for your deposit is paid in ATOM by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive ALGO? To receive Algorand from your swap, we recommend using Pera or Defly. Make sure your wallet supports the Algorand network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ALGO address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the ALGO address? Use an Algorand address: it is 58 characters of capital letters and digits. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my ATOM to ALGO 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 ATOM payment on Mintscan (https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos) and your incoming ALGO on Allo (https://allo.info). ### Is it safe to exchange ATOM for ALGO on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ATOM deposit is converted and the ALGO is sent straight to the Algorand address you enter, so check that address twice, Algorand transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain ATOM to ALGO swap work? Cosmos lives on Cosmos Hub and Algorand on Algorand, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ATOM on Cosmos Hub and pays native ALGO on Algorand, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my ATOM to ALGO exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ATOM is refunded to the Cosmos Hub 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. ## Related - [Reverse: ALGO to ATOM](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/algo-atom/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/algo-atom.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
