## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap BEAMX to ZEC on GhostSwap?

Most BEAMX to ZEC swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the BEAMX deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the ZEC is sent to your wallet, and Zcash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BEAMX to ZEC?

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

### What are the fees for converting BEAM to Zcash?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ZEC amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending BEAMX.

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

To receive Zcash from your swap, we recommend using Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. All three can move ZEC into the shielded pool. Make sure your wallet supports the Zcash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ZEC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ZEC address?

Use a Zcash address: it starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my BEAMX to ZEC 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 BEAMX payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).

### Is it safe to exchange BEAMX for ZEC on GhostSwap?

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

### Can my BEAMX to ZEC swap be traced?

Your BEAMX transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum (ERC-20) blockchain since BEAM is transparent — token balances and transfers are public on Etherscan. However, once your ZEC arrives in your wallet, Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. By swapping BEAMX to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

### How does a cross-chain BEAMX to ZEC swap work?

BEAM lives on Ethereum and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BEAMX on Ethereum and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### Is it legal to own and swap Zcash?

In most countries, yes: owning and swapping Zcash is not banned, although some centralized exchanges have stopped listing privacy coins in certain regions. Privacy is a legitimate need, and using privacy-enhancing tools is not illegal in itself. You are responsible for following the cryptocurrency rules where you live.

### What happens if my BEAMX to ZEC exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the BEAMX is refunded to the Ethereum 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.
