## FAQ

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

Most LDO to ORCA swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your LDO deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the ORCA 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 ORCA?

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

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

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

To receive Orca from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare, or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ORCA address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ORCA 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 ORCA to an address on another network can lose the coins.

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

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your LDO deposit is converted and the ORCA 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 ORCA swap work?

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

### What happens if my LDO to ORCA 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.
