## FAQ

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

Most ATOM to USDT swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ATOM deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Cosmos Hub, then the USDT 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 USDT?

1 ATOM is worth about 1.7710 USDT at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the USDT 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 USDT?

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

### What are the fees for converting Cosmos to Tether (ERC20)?

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

To receive Tether (ERC20) from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your USDT address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the USDT 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 USDT to an address on another network can lose the coins.

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

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

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

### Why swap ATOM to USDT?

Converting Cosmos to Tether (ERC20) moves the value into a dollar-pegged stablecoin in your own wallet, without using a centralized exchange or going through KYC.

### What happens if my ATOM to USDT 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.
