## FAQ

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

When you exchange IOTA to Cardano on GhostSwap, the process typically takes 5–30 minutes depending on network congestion for your IOTA to confirm on the IOTA network. Once confirmed, your Cardano is sent to your wallet and arrives within 1–5 minutes. Most IOTA to ADA swaps finish in 20–60 minutes in total; network congestion can occasionally add time, and the status page shows each step.

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

No. GhostSwap is a non-custodial, no-KYC exchange. You can convert IOTA to Cardano without creating an account, uploading ID documents, or providing any personal information. Just enter your Cardano wallet address, send your IOTA, and receive your ADA — that's it.

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

GhostSwap charges a small service fee that's already included in the exchange rate you see — there are no hidden fees. On top of that, network fees vary based on blockchain congestion. The swap box shows the estimated amount of ADA after fees before you send. The rate floats, so the final amount can differ slightly if the market moves before your deposit confirms.

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

To receive Cardano from your swap, we recommend using Yoroi, Eternl, 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.

### Can I track my IOTA 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 IOTA payment on the relevant blockchain explorer and your incoming ADA on CardanoScan (https://cardanoscan.io).

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

Yes. GhostSwap is a non-custodial exchange, which means we never hold your funds or private keys. Your IOTA is converted and sent directly to your Cardano wallet address. We don't store personal data, and all swaps are processed through secure, encrypted connections.

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

IOTA runs on the IOTA network while Cardano runs on the Cardano network — they can't be sent directly to each other. GhostSwap handles the cross-chain conversion for you: you send IOTA to our temporary deposit address, we convert it, and send the equivalent ADA to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required.

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

In the rare case of a failed exchange, GhostSwap will automatically attempt to refund your IOTA to the refund address you provided. If you didn't provide a refund address, or if you need assistance, our support team is available to help resolve the issue. Most problems are caused by sending the wrong amount or using an incompatible wallet address.
