## FAQ

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

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

### How much is 1 ORCA in ALGO?

1 ORCA is worth about 23.3361 ALGO at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ALGO network fee. The rate floats with the market until your ORCA deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

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

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

### What are the fees for converting Orca to Algorand?

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

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

To receive Algorand from your swap, we recommend using Pera or Defly. Make sure your wallet supports the Algorand network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ALGO address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ALGO address?

Use an Algorand address: it is 58 characters of capital letters and digits. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ORCA to ALGO 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 ORCA payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming ALGO on Allo (https://allo.info).

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

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

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

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

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

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