## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Degen from your swap, we recommend using Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, or Rabby (set to the Base network). Make sure your wallet supports the Base (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DEGEN address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the DEGEN address?

Use a Base address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending DEGEN to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my HBAR to DEGEN 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 DEGEN on BaseScan (https://basescan.org).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my HBAR to DEGEN 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.
