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

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

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.
