Paste an address from a wallet that shows Base tokens, such as Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask or Rabby. - Use the Theta address the THETA leaves from as your refund address. THETA staked to a Guardian or validator node must be unstaked and back in the wallet first, and unstaking takes some time. - Moving or selling DEGEN later needs a little ETH on Base, which GhostSwap lists as its own coin. ### Can I swap THETA for DEGEN without KYC? Yes. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID. Paste your Base address, check the floating rate and send the THETA from your own Theta wallet. ### Can I receive DEGEN on Degen Chain?

Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: DEGEN to THETA](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/degen-theta/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/degen-theta.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
