## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Orca from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ORCA address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ORCA address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending ORCA to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my HBAR to ORCA 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 ORCA on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my HBAR to ORCA 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.
