## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap FLIP to AVAX on GhostSwap?

Most FLIP to AVAX swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your FLIP deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the AVAX is sent to your wallet and Avalanche X-Chain confirms it in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange FLIP to AVAX?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Avalanche X-Chain address that should receive the AVAX, send FLIP from your own wallet, and the AVAX goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Chainflip to Avalanche?

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

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

To receive Avalanche from your swap, we recommend using Core Wallet, using its X-Chain address (starts with X-avax1). For AVAX in MetaMask or another 0x wallet, pick AVAX C-Chain instead. Make sure your wallet supports the Avalanche X-Chain network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AVAX address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the AVAX address?

Use a Avalanche X-Chain address: it starts with X-avax1 (an X-Chain address; 0x C-Chain addresses are not accepted). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my FLIP to AVAX 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 FLIP payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming AVAX on Avascan (https://avascan.info).

### Is it safe to exchange FLIP for AVAX on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain FLIP to AVAX swap work?

Chainflip lives on Ethereum and Avalanche on Avalanche X-Chain, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your FLIP on Ethereum and pays native AVAX on Avalanche X-Chain, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my FLIP to AVAX exchange fails?

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