## FAQ

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

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Cronos to NEAR Protocol?

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 NEAR 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 NEAR?

To receive NEAR Protocol from your swap, we recommend using Meteor, HOT Wallet or MyNearWallet. Make sure your wallet supports the NEAR network before starting the exchange. Double-check your NEAR address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### Can I track my CRO to NEAR 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 NEAR on NearBlocks (https://nearblocks.io).

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

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

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

### What happens if my CRO to NEAR 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.
