## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Link from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your LINK address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my BTC to LINK 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.
