## FAQ

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

Most DOT to HNT swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your DOT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Polkadot; after that the HNT is sent to your wallet and Solana confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

To receive Helium from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana network before starting the exchange. Double-check your HNT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the HNT address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending HNT to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my DOT to HNT 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 HNT on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my DOT to HNT 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.
