## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap DOT to APT on GhostSwap?

Most DOT to APT swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DOT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Polkadot, then the APT is sent to your wallet, and Aptos confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 DOT in APT?

1 DOT is worth about 1.4052 APT at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the APT network fee. The rate floats with the market until your DOT deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DOT to APT?

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

### What are the fees for converting Polkadot to Aptos?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the APT amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Polkadot network fee for your deposit is paid in DOT by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive APT?

To receive Aptos from your swap, we recommend using Petra or Nightly. Make sure your wallet supports the Aptos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your APT address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the APT address?

Use an Aptos address: it starts with 0x followed by 64 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my DOT to APT 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 DOT payment on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io) and your incoming APT on Aptos Explorer (https://explorer.aptoslabs.com).

### Is it safe to exchange DOT for APT on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain DOT to APT swap work?

Polkadot lives on Polkadot and Aptos on Aptos, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DOT on Polkadot and pays native APT on Aptos, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my DOT to APT exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the DOT is refunded to the Polkadot 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.
