## FAQ

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

Most ATOM to PAXG swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ATOM deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Cosmos Hub, then the PAXG is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ATOM in PAXG?

1 ATOM is worth about 0.000413 PAXG at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the PAXG 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 PAXG?

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

### What are the fees for converting Cosmos to PAX Gold?

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

To receive PAX Gold from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum network before starting the exchange. Double-check your PAXG address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the PAXG address?

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

### Can I track my ATOM to PAXG 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 PAXG on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ATOM to PAXG 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.
