## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

### What format is the OP address?

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

### Can I track my HNT to OP 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 OP on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my HNT to OP 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.
