## FAQ

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

Most ETC to XAUT swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your ETC deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Ethereum Classic; after that the XAUT is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Ethereum Classic to Tether Gold?

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

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

To receive Tether Gold from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XAUT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the XAUT address?

Use a Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending XAUT to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my ETC to XAUT 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 ETC payment on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com) and your incoming XAUT on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my ETC to XAUT exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ETC is refunded to the Ethereum Classic 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.
