## FAQ

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

It depends on how quickly your CRO deposit confirms on its network; after that the BTC 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 BTC?

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

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

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 BTC 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 BTC?

To receive Bitcoin from your swap, we recommend using Sparrow, Electrum or a hardware wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BTC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### Can I track my CRO to BTC 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 BTC on mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

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

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

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

### What happens if my CRO to BTC 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.
