## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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 ZEC 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 ZEC?

To receive Zcash from your swap, we recommend using Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. All three can move ZEC into the shielded pool. Make sure your wallet supports the Zcash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ZEC address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### Can I track my CRO to ZEC 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 ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).

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

### Can my CRO to ZEC swap be traced?

Your CRO transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Cronos blockchain since Cronos is transparent: transactions are public on the Cronos explorer. However, once your ZEC arrives in your wallet, Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. By swapping CRO to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

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

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

### What happens if my CRO to ZEC 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.
