## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap OP to ETH on GhostSwap?

Most OP to ETH swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, then the ETH is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 OP in ETH?

1 OP is worth about 0.0000469207 ETH at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ETH network fee. The rate floats with the market until your OP deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange OP to ETH?

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

### What are the fees for converting Optimism to Ethereum?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ETH amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH on OP Mainnet to pay the OP Mainnet network fee for sending OP.

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

To receive Ethereum from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ETH address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ETH address?

Use an Ethereum 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 OP to ETH 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 OP payment on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io) and your incoming ETH on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange OP for ETH on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain OP to ETH swap work?

Optimism lives on OP Mainnet and Ethereum on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your OP on OP Mainnet and pays native ETH on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my OP to ETH exchange fails?

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