Your LDO deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the ATOM is sent to your wallet and Cosmos Hub confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange LDO to ATOM? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Cosmos Hub address that should receive the ATOM, send LDO from your own wallet, and the ATOM goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Lido DAO to Cosmos? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ATOM amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending LDO. ### What wallet should I use to receive ATOM? To receive Cosmos from your swap, we recommend using Keplr or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cosmos Hub network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ATOM address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the ATOM address? Use a Cosmos Hub address: it starts with cosmos1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Do I need a Memo to receive ATOM? Only if the ATOM goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Memo; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal ATOM wallet does not need one. ### Can I track my LDO to ATOM 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 LDO payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ATOM on Mintscan (https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos). ### Is it safe to exchange LDO for ATOM on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your LDO deposit is converted and the ATOM is sent straight to the Cosmos Hub address you enter, so check that address twice — Cosmos Hub transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain LDO to ATOM swap work? Lido DAO lives on Ethereum and Cosmos on Cosmos Hub, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your LDO on Ethereum and pays native ATOM on Cosmos Hub, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my LDO to ATOM exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the LDO is refunded to the Ethereum 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. ## Related - [Reverse: ATOM to LDO](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/atom-ldo/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/atom-ldo.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
