## FAQ

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

When you exchange Cronos to Lido DAO on GhostSwap, the process typically takes a few minutes on Cronos for your CRO to confirm on the Cronos network. Once confirmed, your Lido DAO is sent to your wallet and arrives within about 2–5 minutes on Ethereum. Total swap time is usually under 30 minutes, though network congestion can occasionally cause delays.

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Cronos to Lido DAO?

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 rate shown in the swap preview is the exact amount of LDO you'll receive.

### What wallet should I use to receive LDO?

To receive Lido DAO 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 LDO address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

### Is it safe to exchange CRO for LDO 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 Lido DAO wallet address. We don't store personal data, and all swaps are processed through secure, encrypted connections.

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

Cronos runs on the Cronos network while Lido DAO runs on the Ethereum 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 LDO to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required.

### What happens if my CRO to LDO exchange fails?

In the rare case of a failed exchange, GhostSwap will automatically attempt to refund your CRO to the refund address you provided. If you didn't provide a refund address, or if you need assistance, our support team is available to help resolve the issue. Most problems are caused by sending the wrong amount or using an incompatible wallet address.
