## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Helium from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana network before starting the exchange. Double-check your HNT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my OP to HNT 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.
