## FAQ

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

Most GMT to ZEC swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your GMT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana; 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 GMT to ZEC?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send GMT 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 STEPN 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 SOL to pay the Solana network fee for sending GMT.

### 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 GMT 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 GMT payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your GMT 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 GMT to ZEC swap be traced?

Your GMT transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Solana blockchain since STEPN is transparent — transfers are public on Solscan. 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 GMT to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

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

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

### What happens if my GMT to ZEC exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the GMT is refunded to the Solana 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.
