## DRIFT to PayPal USD on Ethereum

DRIFT is an SPL token on Solana and the governance token of Drift Protocol, the Solana perpetuals exchange now rebranded as Velocity. PYUSD is the dollar stablecoin that Paxos issues for PayPal, and this pair pays it as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. It suits DRIFT holders who want to move into dollars held in a self-custody Ethereum wallet, with no account.

Solana needs under a minute to confirm the DRIFT you send. The PYUSD payout then waits for Ethereum confirmations, a few minutes more, and most swaps finish in 5 to 15 minutes. You pay gas in two different coins: SOL to send the DRIFT, and later ETH to move the PYUSD.

### Tips

- Paste an Ethereum address (0x plus 40 hexadecimal characters) from MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger, and keep a little ETH there so you can move the PYUSD later.
- Keep a little SOL next to the DRIFT in Phantom or Solflare for the network fee. The token's mint is DriFtupJYLTosbwoN8koMbEYSx54aFAVLddWsbksjwg7, and the Solana address you send from is your refund address.
- DFX, the recovery token issued to users affected by Drift's April 2026 exploit, is a separate SPL token with its own mint. Only DRIFT is accepted on this pair.

### Can I swap DRIFT to PYUSD without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your Ethereum address, check the floating rate and send the DRIFT from your own Solana wallet.

### Can I get PYUSD on Solana instead?

Yes. GhostSwap lists PayPal USD on Solana as a separate receive coin, paid to a Solana address. Choosing this pair gets you PYUSD on Ethereum.

## FAQ

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

Most DRIFT to PYUSD swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DRIFT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana, then the PYUSD is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes.

### Can I send DRIFT straight to my PYUSD address?

No. DRIFT moves on Solana and PYUSD on Ethereum, so DRIFT can only be sent to a Solana address. To swap, send the DRIFT to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the PYUSD is paid to the Ethereum address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token.

### What wallet and address do I need to receive PYUSD?

Use an Ethereum address from a wallet you control, such as MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. The address starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Sending PYUSD to an address on another network can lose the coins. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the PYUSD is sent straight to the address you enter.

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the DRIFT is refunded to the Solana address you entered as the sender address.
