## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap LEO to ETC on GhostSwap?

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

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange LEO to ETC?

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

### What are the fees for converting UNUS SED LEO to Ethereum Classic?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ETC 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 LEO.

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

To receive Ethereum Classic from your swap, we recommend using Trust Wallet, MetaMask (with the ETC network added), or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum Classic network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ETC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ETC address?

Use a Ethereum Classic 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 LEO to ETC 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 LEO payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ETC on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com).

### Is it safe to exchange LEO for ETC on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain LEO to ETC swap work?

UNUS SED LEO lives on Ethereum and Ethereum Classic on Ethereum Classic, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your LEO on Ethereum and pays native ETC on Ethereum Classic, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my LEO to ETC exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the LEO 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.
