## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Filecoin from your swap, we recommend using Ledger, Trust Wallet, or Glif. Make sure your wallet supports the Filecoin network before starting the exchange. Double-check your FIL address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the FIL address?

Use a Filecoin address: it usually starts with f1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my HBAR to FIL 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 FIL on Filfox (https://filfox.info).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my HBAR to FIL 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.
