## FAQ

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

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

### How much is 1 ATOM in POL?

1 ATOM is worth about 17.9273 POL 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 POL 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 POL?

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

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

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

To receive Polygon from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the Polygon PoS network before starting the exchange. Double-check your POL address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the POL address?

Use a Polygon PoS address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ATOM to POL 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 POL on PolygonScan (https://polygonscan.com).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ATOM to POL 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.
