It pays AAVE, the governance token of the Aave lending protocol, as an ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet. AAVE holders vote on Aave proposals, or delegate that voting power to someone else while keeping the tokens. It suits CRO holders who want a DeFi governance token without going through an exchange account. The CRO deposit is credited after a few minutes of Cronos POS confirmations, and the AAVE payout then confirms on Ethereum within a few minutes. CRO delegated to a validator must finish unbonding before it can be sent. On Cronos POS that takes 28 days, so plan for it before you start. ### Tips - Paste an Ethereum address (0x plus 40 hexadecimal characters) from MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. A cro1 address cannot receive AAVE. - Send CRO from your own cro1 wallet, such as Keplr or a Ledger, and enter that address as the refund address. CRO on the Cronos EVM chain (0x addresses) cannot fund this deposit. - You can delegate the AAVE's voting power from the receiving address without moving the tokens. That is an Ethereum transaction, so keep a little ETH there. ### Can I swap CRO to AAVE without an account? Yes. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID. Paste your Ethereum address, check the floating rate and send the CRO from your cro1 wallet. ### Why might the deposit show a Payment ID? Cronos POS deposits can be matched by a memo. If the deposit details show a Payment ID, put it in the memo field of your CRO transfer, or the deposit may not be matched to your swap. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap CRO to AAVE on GhostSwap? It depends on how quickly your CRO deposit confirms on its network; after that the AAVE is sent to your wallet. The status page shows each step with your swap ID. ### What are the fees for converting Cronos to Aave? GhostSwap charges a small service fee that's already included in the exchange rate you see, there are no hidden fees. On top of that, Cronos fees are small and paid in CRO. The swap box shows the estimated amount of AAVE after fees before you send. The rate floats, so the final amount can differ slightly if the market moves before your deposit confirms. ### What wallet should I use to receive AAVE? To receive Aave from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AAVE address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### Can I track my CRO to AAVE 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 CRO payment on the Cronos explorer and your incoming AAVE on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io). ### Is it safe to exchange CRO for AAVE on GhostSwap? Yes. GhostSwap is a non-custodial exchange, which means we never hold your funds or private keys. Your Cronos is converted and sent directly to your Aave wallet address. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID, and all swaps run over encrypted connections. ### How does a cross-chain CRO to AAVE swap work? Cronos runs on the Cronos network while Aave runs on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network, they can't be sent directly to each other. GhostSwap handles the cross-chain conversion for you: you send CRO to our temporary deposit address, we convert it, and send the equivalent AAVE to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required. ### What happens if my CRO to AAVE exchange fails? In the rare case of a failed exchange, your CRO is refunded to the address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems are caused by sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: AAVE to CRO](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/aave-cro/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/aave-cro.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
