## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

To receive VeChain from your swap, we recommend using VeWorld. Make sure your wallet supports the VeChainThor network before starting the exchange. Double-check your VET address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the VET address?

Use a VeChainThor 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 VET 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 VET on VeChain Explorer (https://explore.vechain.org).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my DEGEN to VET 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.
