DEGEN

What is Degen?

Degen (DEGEN) is a term commonly used in the crypto community to refer to high-risk, high-reward investments. A token named DEGEN may be associated with projects that embrace this culture. Due to the speculative nature, users should exercise caution and conduct thorough research.

ADA

What is Cardano?

Cardano (ADA) is a third-generation blockchain platform built on peer-reviewed research and formal verification methods. Developed by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano takes a methodical, academic approach to solving blockchain scalability, interoperability, and sustainability. ADA is used for staking, governance voting, and paying transaction fees on the network. Cardano's Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol is one of the most energy-efficient in the industry. The platform supports smart contracts through Plutus and continues to expand its DeFi and real-world application ecosystem.

DEGEN to ADA: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging DEGEN to ADA on GhostSwap.

How long does it take to swap DEGEN to ADA on GhostSwap?
Most DEGEN to ADA swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DEGEN deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Base, then the ADA is sent to your wallet, and Cardano confirms the payout in a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds). Busy networks can add a few minutes.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DEGEN to ADA?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Cardano address that should receive the ADA, send DEGEN from your own wallet, and the ADA goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Degen to Cardano?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ADA amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH on Base to pay the Base network fee for sending DEGEN.
What wallet should I use to receive ADA?
To receive Cardano from your swap, we recommend using Eternl, Lace or VESPR. Make sure your wallet supports the Cardano network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ADA address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the ADA address?
Use a Cardano address: it starts with addr1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.
Can I track my DEGEN to ADA 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 DEGEN payment on BaseScan (https://basescan.org) and your incoming ADA on Cardanoscan (https://cardanoscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange DEGEN for ADA on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your DEGEN deposit is converted and the ADA is sent straight to the Cardano address you enter, so check that address twice, Cardano transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain DEGEN to ADA swap work?
Degen lives on Base and Cardano on Cardano, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DEGEN on Base and pays native ADA on Cardano, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my DEGEN to ADA exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the DEGEN is refunded to the Base address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
