## FAQ

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

Most HBAR to LDO swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your HBAR deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Hedera; after that the LDO is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Hedera Hashgraph to Lido DAO?

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

To receive Lido DAO from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum network before starting the exchange. Double-check your LDO address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the LDO address?

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

### Can I track my HBAR to LDO 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 LDO on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my HBAR to LDO 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.
