## FAQ

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

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

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Drift to Ethereum Classic?

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

To receive Ethereum Classic from your swap, we recommend using Trust Wallet or MetaMask (ETC network). Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum Classic network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ETC address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ETC address?

Use an Ethereum Classic 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 DRIFT to ETC 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 ETC on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my DRIFT to ETC 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.
