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

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 DEGEN after fees before you send. The rate floats, so the final amount can differ slightly if the market moves before your deposit confirms.

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

Cronos runs on the Cronos network while Degen runs on the Base (Ethereum layer 2) 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 DEGEN to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required.

### What happens if my CRO to DEGEN 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.
