## FAQ

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

Most PAXG to ALGO swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your PAXG deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the ALGO is sent to your wallet and Algorand confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Algorand address that should receive the ALGO, send PAXG 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 PAX Gold 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 ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending PAXG.

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

To receive Algorand from your swap, we recommend using Pera Wallet 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 a 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 PAXG 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 PAXG payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ALGO on Allo (https://allo.info).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your PAXG 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 PAXG to ALGO swap work?

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

### What happens if my PAXG to ALGO 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.
