## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap BTC to COMP on GhostSwap?

Most BTC to COMP swaps finish in 20–60 minutes. Your BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin; after that the COMP is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BTC to COMP?

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

### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin to Compound?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the COMP amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Bitcoin network fee for your deposit is paid in BTC by your wallet.

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

To receive Compound from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum network before starting the exchange. Double-check your COMP address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the COMP address?

Use a 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 COMP to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my BTC to COMP 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 BTC payment on Mempool.space (https://mempool.space) and your incoming COMP on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange BTC for COMP on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain BTC to COMP swap work?

Bitcoin lives on Bitcoin and Compound on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BTC on Bitcoin and pays native COMP on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my BTC to COMP exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the BTC is refunded to the Bitcoin 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.
