## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive THETA from your swap, we recommend using Theta Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Theta Network network before starting the exchange. Double-check your THETA address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the THETA address?

Use a Theta Network address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my LDO to THETA 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 THETA on Theta Explorer (https://explorer.thetatoken.org).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my LDO to THETA 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.
