## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap DEGEN to AVAX on GhostSwap?

Most DEGEN to AVAX swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DEGEN deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Base, then the AVAX is sent to your wallet, and Avalanche X-Chain confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DEGEN to AVAX?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Avalanche X-Chain address that should receive the AVAX, send DEGEN from your own wallet, and the AVAX goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

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

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the AVAX 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 AVAX?

To receive Avalanche from your swap, we recommend using Core (copy its X-Chain address). For AVAX in MetaMask or another 0x wallet, pick AVAX C-Chain instead. Make sure your wallet supports the Avalanche X-Chain network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AVAX address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the AVAX address?

Use an Avalanche X-Chain address: it starts with X-avax1 (an X-Chain address; 0x C-Chain addresses are not accepted). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my DEGEN to AVAX 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 AVAX on Avascan (https://avascan.info).

### Is it safe to exchange DEGEN for AVAX on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your DEGEN deposit is converted and the AVAX is sent straight to the Avalanche X-Chain address you enter, so check that address twice, Avalanche X-Chain transfers cannot be reversed.

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

Degen lives on Base and Avalanche on Avalanche X-Chain, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DEGEN on Base and pays native AVAX on Avalanche X-Chain, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my DEGEN to AVAX 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.
