## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap NEAR to CRO on GhostSwap?

When you exchange NEAR Protocol to Cronos on GhostSwap, the process typically takes a few seconds on NEAR for your NEAR to confirm on the NEAR network. Once confirmed, your Cronos is sent to your wallet and arrives within a few minutes on Cronos. Most NEAR to CRO swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes after you send; network congestion can occasionally add time, and the status page shows each step.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange NEAR to CRO?

No. GhostSwap is a non-custodial, no-KYC exchange. You can convert NEAR Protocol to Cronos without creating an account, uploading ID documents, or providing any personal information. Just enter your Cronos wallet address, send your NEAR, and receive your CRO, that's it.

### What are the fees for converting NEAR Protocol to Cronos?

GhostSwap charges a small service fee that's already included in the exchange rate you see, there are no hidden fees. On top of that, NEAR network fees are paid in NEAR. The swap box shows the estimated amount of CRO after fees before you send. The rate floats, so the final amount can differ slightly if the market moves before your deposit confirms.

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

To receive Cronos from your swap, we recommend using Crypto.com DeFi Wallet or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cronos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your CRO address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### Can I track my NEAR to CRO 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 NEAR payment on NearBlocks (https://nearblocks.io) and your incoming CRO on the Cronos explorer.

### Is it safe to exchange NEAR for CRO on GhostSwap?

Yes. GhostSwap is a non-custodial exchange, which means we never hold your funds or private keys. Your NEAR Protocol is converted and sent directly to your Cronos wallet address. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID, and all swaps run over encrypted connections.

### How does a cross-chain NEAR to CRO swap work?

NEAR Protocol runs on the NEAR network while Cronos runs on the Cronos network, they can't be sent directly to each other. GhostSwap handles the cross-chain conversion for you: you send NEAR to our temporary deposit address, we convert it, and send the equivalent CRO to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required.

### What happens if my NEAR to CRO exchange fails?

In the rare case of a failed exchange, your NEAR is refunded to the address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems are caused by sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
