## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Optimism from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby (set to OP Mainnet). Make sure your wallet supports the OP Mainnet (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your OP address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the OP address?

Use a OP Mainnet address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending OP to an address on another network can lose the coins.

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

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my BTC to OP 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.
