## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap FIL to BEAMX on GhostSwap?

Most FIL to BEAMX swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the FIL deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Filecoin, then the BEAMX is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange FIL to BEAMX?

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

### What are the fees for converting Filecoin to BEAM?

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

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

To receive BEAM from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BEAMX address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BEAMX address?

Use an 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 BEAMX to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my FIL to BEAMX 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 FIL payment on Filfox (https://filfox.info) and your incoming BEAMX on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange FIL for BEAMX on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain FIL to BEAMX swap work?

Filecoin lives on Filecoin and BEAM on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your FIL on Filecoin and pays native BEAMX on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my FIL to BEAMX exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the FIL is refunded to the Filecoin 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.
