## Swapping BNB for Algorand: a short checklist

BNB to ALGO moves value from BNB Smart Chain to Algorand, a proof-of-stake chain with low fees and fast finality. It suits people heading to Algorand wallets such as Pera or Defly, or to apps built on Algorand. The ALGO is sent to the address you paste, with no account and no ID.

The ALGO is sent once your BNB deposit has its BNB Smart Chain confirmations, which usually takes under a minute. An Algorand block is final as soon as it is added, so there are no extra confirmations to wait for after the payout shows in your wallet.

### Tips

- Algorand addresses are 58 characters, using capital letters and the digits 2–7. Copy the address from Pera or Defly instead of typing it.
- A brand-new Algorand account becomes active only once it holds the network's minimum balance. A normal swap payout covers this.
- Send BNB from a self-custody wallet on BNB Smart Chain and enter that 0x address as the refund address. The old BNB Beacon Chain (bnb1 addresses) has been retired and cannot be used.

### Do I need an account to swap BNB to ALGO?

No. GhostSwap asks for no account, email or ID on a standard swap. Paste your 58-character Algorand address, check the floating rate and send the BNB.

### Do I have to opt in to receive ALGO?

No. Opt-in applies only to Algorand Standard Assets such as USDC on Algorand. Any valid Algorand address can receive native ALGO.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap BNB to ALGO on GhostSwap?

Most BNB to ALGO swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the BNB deposit needs under a minute to confirm on BNB Smart Chain, then the ALGO is sent to your wallet, and Algorand confirms the payout in under a minute.

### How much is 1 BNB in ALGO?

At 4 Oct 2026, 07:37 UTC, 1 BNB swapped to about 5,997.46 ALGO on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.039 BNB. The BNB Smart Chain network fee for sending the BNB is paid separately, in BNB. The rate floats with the market until your BNB deposit confirms.

### Can I send BNB straight to my ALGO address?

No. BNB moves on BNB Smart Chain and ALGO on Algorand, so BNB can only be sent to a BNB Smart Chain address. To swap, send the BNB to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the ALGO is paid to the Algorand address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BNB to ALGO?

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

### What wallet and address do I need to receive ALGO?

Use an Algorand address from a wallet you control, such as Pera or Defly. The address is 58 characters of capital letters and digits. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the ALGO is sent straight to the address you enter.

### What happens if my BNB to ALGO exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the BNB is refunded to the BNB Smart Chain address you entered as the sender address.
