## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

### What format is the POL address?

Use a Polygon PoS address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my BTC to POL 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 POL on PolygonScan (https://polygonscan.com).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my BTC to POL 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.
