## FAQ

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

Most BTC to PONKE swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin, then the PONKE is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

To receive PONKE from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your PONKE address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the PONKE address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending PONKE to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my BTC to PONKE 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 PONKE on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my BTC to PONKE 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.
