## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap CRO to APE on GhostSwap?

It depends on how quickly your CRO deposit confirms on its network; after that the APE is sent to your wallet. The status page shows each step with your swap ID.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange CRO to APE?

No. GhostSwap is a non-custodial, no-KYC exchange. You can convert Cronos to ApeCoin without creating an account, uploading ID documents, or providing any personal information. Just enter your ApeCoin wallet address, send your CRO, and receive your APE, that's it.

### What are the fees for converting Cronos to ApeCoin?

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 APE 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 APE?

To receive ApeCoin 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 APE address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

### Is it safe to exchange CRO for APE 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 ApeCoin wallet address. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID, and all swaps run over encrypted connections.

### How does a cross-chain CRO to APE swap work?

Cronos runs on the Cronos network while ApeCoin 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 APE to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required.

### What happens if my CRO to APE 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.
