## FAQ

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

Most AVAX to DOT swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your AVAX deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Avalanche C-Chain; after that the DOT is sent to your wallet and Polkadot confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Polkadot from your swap, we recommend using Polkadot.js, Nova Wallet, or Fearless Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Polkadot network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DOT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the DOT address?

Use a Polkadot address: it starts with 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my AVAX to DOT 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 Snowtrace (https://snowtrace.io) and your incoming DOT on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io).

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

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

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

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

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

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