## FAQ

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

Most DEGEN to INJ swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DEGEN deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Base, then the INJ is sent to your wallet, and Injective 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 INJ?

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

### What are the fees for converting Degen to Injective Protocol?

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

To receive Injective Protocol from your swap, we recommend using Keplr or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Injective network before starting the exchange. Double-check your INJ address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the INJ address?

Use an Injective address: it starts with inj1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Do I need a Memo to receive INJ?

Only if the INJ goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Memo; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal INJ wallet does not need one.

### Can I track my DEGEN to INJ 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 INJ on Mintscan (https://www.mintscan.io/injective).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my DEGEN to INJ 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.
