## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap LDO to GMT on GhostSwap?

Most LDO to GMT swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your LDO deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the GMT is sent to your wallet and Solana confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange LDO to GMT?

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

### What are the fees for converting Lido DAO to STEPN?

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

To receive STEPN from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana network before starting the exchange. Double-check your GMT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the GMT address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending GMT to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my LDO to GMT 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 GMT on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange LDO for GMT on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain LDO to GMT swap work?

Lido DAO lives on Ethereum and STEPN on Solana, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your LDO on Ethereum and pays native GMT on Solana, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my LDO to GMT 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.
