## FAQ

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

Most BTC to GLM swaps finish in 20–60 minutes. Your BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin; after that the GLM 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 GLM?

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

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

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the GLM 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 GLM?

To receive Golem 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 GLM address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the GLM 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 GLM to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my BTC to GLM 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 GLM on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC deposit is converted and the GLM 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 GLM swap work?

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

### What happens if my BTC to GLM 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.
