## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Stellar from your swap, we recommend using Lobstr or Freighter. Make sure your wallet supports the Stellar network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XLM address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the XLM address?

Use a Stellar address: it starts with G and is 56 characters long. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Do I need a Memo.ID to receive XLM?

Only if the XLM goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Memo.ID; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal XLM wallet does not need one.

### Can I track my LEO to XLM 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 XLM on StellarExpert (https://stellar.expert).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my LEO to XLM 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.
