## FAQ

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

Most FLIP to ZEC swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your FLIP deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the ZEC is sent to your wallet and Zcash confirms it in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

To receive Zcash from your swap, we recommend using Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo, which can all move ZEC into the shielded pool. Make sure your wallet supports the Zcash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ZEC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ZEC address?

Use a Zcash address: it starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my FLIP to ZEC 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 ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).

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

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

### Can my FLIP to ZEC swap be traced?

Your FLIP transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum (ERC-20) blockchain since Chainflip is transparent — token balances and transfers are public on Etherscan. However, once your ZEC arrives in your wallet, Zcash is optional — supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. By swapping FLIP to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

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

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

### What happens if my FLIP to ZEC 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.
