## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive BNB from your swap, we recommend using Trust Wallet, MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BNB address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BNB address?

Use a BNB Smart Chain address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters (the same format as Ethereum). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my DEGEN to BNB 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 BNB on BscScan (https://bscscan.com).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my DEGEN to BNB 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.
