## Internet Computer to The Sandbox: ICP in, SAND out on Ethereum

ICP is the native token of the Internet Computer, a network that runs apps and websites fully on-chain. It is also locked in neurons to vote in the Network Nervous System. SAND is the ERC-20 token of The Sandbox, a voxel game world where it pays for LAND, avatars and in-game items. This pair takes you from one to the other with no account, paid to your Ethereum address.

ICP ledger transfers are final in a few seconds and the SAND confirms on Ethereum in about 2 to 5 minutes, so most swaps finish in 5 to 15 minutes. Only liquid ICP can be sent. ICP staked in a neuron stays locked until the neuron has dissolved and the ICP is paid back to your account.

### Tips

- SAND is paid to an Ethereum address (0x plus 40 hex characters). Multichain wallets such as OISY show your ICP account and your Ethereum address separately; copy the 0x one.
- Enter your 64-character ICP account ID as the refund address, not a principal ID with dashes. Each ICP ledger transfer also takes a small fixed fee in ICP.
- This pair pays SAND on Ethereum mainnet. SAND also exists as a separate token on Polygon, which this payout does not use. Keep a little ETH at the receiving address so you can move the SAND later.

### Can I swap ICP to SAND without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your Ethereum address, check the floating rate and send the ICP from your own wallet.

### Can I send ICP from the NNS dapp?

Yes, from its main ICP account. Neuron stakes cannot be sent until they have dissolved and been paid back to that account.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap ICP to SAND on GhostSwap?

Most ICP to SAND swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ICP deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Internet Computer, then the SAND is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ICP in SAND?

1 ICP is worth about 43.5111 SAND at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the SAND network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 9.5 ICP. The rate floats with the market until your ICP deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### What are the fees for converting Internet Computer to The Sandbox?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the SAND amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Internet Computer network fee for your deposit is paid in ICP by your wallet.

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

To receive The Sandbox from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your SAND address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the SAND address?

Use an 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 SAND to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my ICP to SAND 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 ICP payment on the ICP Dashboard (https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org) and your incoming SAND on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange ICP for SAND on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain ICP to SAND swap work?

Internet Computer lives on Internet Computer and The Sandbox on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ICP on Internet Computer and pays native SAND on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my ICP to SAND exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ICP is refunded to the Internet Computer 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.
