## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap LINK to DRIFT on GhostSwap?

Most LINK to DRIFT swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the LINK deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the DRIFT is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange LINK to DRIFT?

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

### What are the fees for converting Link to Drift?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DRIFT 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 LINK.

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

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

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

### Can I track my LINK to DRIFT 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 LINK payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming DRIFT on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange LINK for DRIFT on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain LINK to DRIFT swap work?

Link lives on Ethereum and Drift on Solana, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your LINK on Ethereum and pays native DRIFT on Solana, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my LINK to DRIFT exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the LINK 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.
