## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap PAXG to ADA on GhostSwap?

Most PAXG to ADA swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your PAXG deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the ADA is sent to your wallet and Cardano confirms it in a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange PAXG to ADA?

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

### What are the fees for converting PAX Gold to Cardano?

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

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

To receive Cardano from your swap, we recommend using Eternl, Lace, or Daedalus wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cardano network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ADA address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ADA address?

Use a Cardano address: it starts with addr1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my PAXG to ADA 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 PAXG payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ADA on CardanoScan (https://cardanoscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange PAXG for ADA on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain PAXG to ADA swap work?

PAX Gold lives on Ethereum and Cardano on Cardano, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your PAXG on Ethereum and pays native ADA on Cardano, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my PAXG to ADA exchange fails?

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