## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap HBAR to ALGO on GhostSwap?

Most HBAR to ALGO swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your HBAR deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Hedera; after that the ALGO is sent to your wallet and Algorand confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange HBAR to ALGO?

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

### What are the fees for converting Hedera Hashgraph to Algorand?

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

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

To receive Algorand from your swap, we recommend using Pera Wallet or Defly. Make sure your wallet supports the Algorand network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ALGO address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ALGO address?

Use a Algorand address: it is 58 characters of capital letters and digits. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my HBAR to ALGO 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 HBAR payment on HashScan (https://hashscan.io) and your incoming ALGO on Allo (https://allo.info).

### Is it safe to exchange HBAR for ALGO on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain HBAR to ALGO swap work?

Hedera Hashgraph lives on Hedera and Algorand on Algorand, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your HBAR on Hedera and pays native ALGO on Algorand, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my HBAR to ALGO exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the HBAR is refunded to the Hedera 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.
