## FAQ

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

Most ATOM to ARB swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ATOM deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Cosmos Hub, then the ARB is sent to your wallet, and Arbitrum One confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ATOM in ARB?

1 ATOM is worth about 9.7050 ARB 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 ARB 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 ARB?

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

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

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

To receive Arbitrum from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the Arbitrum One (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ARB address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ARB address?

Use an Arbitrum One address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending ARB to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my ATOM to ARB 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 ARB on Arbiscan (https://arbiscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ATOM to ARB 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.
