## FAQ

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

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin to Ethena USDe?

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

To receive Ethena USDe 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 USDE address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

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

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

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

### Why swap BTC to USDE?

Converting Bitcoin to Ethena USDe lets you exit a volatile crypto position into a dollar-pegged stablecoin without using a centralized exchange or going through KYC. This is useful for locking in profits, protecting against market downturns, or preparing funds for future trades — all while maintaining your privacy.

### What happens if my BTC to USDE 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.
