## FAQ

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

Most DEGEN to PYUSD swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DEGEN deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Base, then the PYUSD is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Degen to PayPal USD?

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

To receive PayPal USD from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your PYUSD address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the PYUSD address?

Use an Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending PYUSD to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my DEGEN to PYUSD 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 PYUSD on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

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

### Why swap DEGEN to PYUSD?

Converting Degen to PayPal USD moves the value into a dollar-pegged stablecoin in your own wallet, without using a centralized exchange or going through KYC.

### What happens if my DEGEN to PYUSD 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.
