## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Polygon from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the Polygon PoS network before starting the exchange. Double-check your POL address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the POL address?

Use a Polygon PoS address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my DEGEN to POL 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 POL on PolygonScan (https://polygonscan.com).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my DEGEN to POL 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.
