## FAQ

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

Most DEGEN to GMT swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your DEGEN deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Base; after that the GMT is sent to your wallet and Solana confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

To receive STEPN from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana network before starting the exchange. Double-check your GMT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the GMT address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending GMT to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my DEGEN to GMT 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 GMT on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my DEGEN to GMT 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.
