## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap AVAX to DEGEN on GhostSwap?

Most AVAX to DEGEN swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the AVAX deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Avalanche X-Chain, then the DEGEN is sent to your wallet, and Base confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange AVAX to DEGEN?

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

### What are the fees for converting Avalanche to Degen?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DEGEN amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Avalanche X-Chain network fee for your deposit is paid in AVAX by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive DEGEN?

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

### What format is the DEGEN address?

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

### Can I track my AVAX to DEGEN 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 AVAX payment on Avascan (https://avascan.info) and your incoming DEGEN on BaseScan (https://basescan.org).

### Is it safe to exchange AVAX for DEGEN on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain AVAX to DEGEN swap work?

Avalanche lives on Avalanche X-Chain and Degen on Base, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your AVAX on Avalanche X-Chain and pays native DEGEN on Base, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my AVAX to DEGEN exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the AVAX is refunded to the Avalanche X-Chain 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.
