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

### What are the fees for converting Degen to Tether (Polygon)?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the USDT Polygon 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.

To receive Tether (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 USDT Polygon address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the USDT Polygon 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. Sending USDT Polygon to an address on another network can lose the coins.
