## FAQ

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

Most NEAR to ORCA swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the NEAR deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on NEAR, then the ORCA is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 NEAR in ORCA?

1 NEAR is worth about 2.5044 ORCA at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 12 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ORCA network fee. The rate floats with the market until your NEAR deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

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

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

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

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ORCA amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the NEAR network fee for your deposit is paid in NEAR by your wallet.

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

To receive Orca 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 ORCA address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

### Can I track my NEAR to ORCA 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 ORCA on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

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

NEAR Protocol lives on NEAR and Orca on Solana, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your NEAR on NEAR and pays native ORCA on Solana, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the NEAR is refunded to the NEAR 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.
