## FAQ

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

Most OP to FLIP swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet; after that the FLIP is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

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

### What format is the FLIP address?

Use a Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending FLIP to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my OP to FLIP 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 FLIP on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your OP deposit is converted and the FLIP 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 FLIP swap work?

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

### What happens if my OP to FLIP 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.
