## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap HNT to ADA on GhostSwap?

Most HNT to ADA swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your HNT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana; after that the ADA is sent to your wallet and Cardano confirms it in a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange HNT to ADA?

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

### What are the fees for converting Helium to Cardano?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ADA amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little SOL to pay the Solana network fee for sending HNT.

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

To receive Cardano from your swap, we recommend using Eternl, Lace, or Daedalus wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cardano network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ADA address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ADA address?

Use a Cardano address: it starts with addr1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my HNT to ADA 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 HNT payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming ADA on CardanoScan (https://cardanoscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange HNT for ADA on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain HNT to ADA swap work?

Helium lives on Solana and Cardano on Cardano, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your HNT on Solana and pays native ADA on Cardano, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my HNT to ADA exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the HNT is refunded to the Solana 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.
