## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap DRIFT to ALGO on GhostSwap?

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

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DRIFT to ALGO?

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

### What are the fees for converting Drift to Algorand?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ALGO amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little SOL to pay the Solana network fee for sending DRIFT.

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

To receive Algorand from your swap, we recommend using Pera or Defly. Make sure your wallet supports the Algorand network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ALGO address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ALGO address?

Use an Algorand address: it is 58 characters of capital letters and digits. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my DRIFT to ALGO 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 DRIFT payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming ALGO on Allo (https://allo.info).

### Is it safe to exchange DRIFT for ALGO on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain DRIFT to ALGO swap work?

Drift lives on Solana and Algorand on Algorand, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DRIFT on Solana and pays native ALGO on Algorand, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my DRIFT to ALGO exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the DRIFT is refunded to the Solana 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.
