## Celestia to DRIFT: a celestia1 deposit, a Solana payout

TIA is the native coin of Celestia, a Cosmos SDK network where rollups publish their transaction data. DRIFT is an SPL token on Solana, issued in 2024 as the governance token of Drift Protocol, a perpetuals exchange that has since relaunched as Velocity. This pair moves value from the Cosmos side of crypto into a Solana DeFi token in one swap. The DRIFT goes to your own Solana address, with no account.

A TIA deposit is credited in under a minute and Solana settles the DRIFT payout in seconds, so most swaps finish in 5 to 15 minutes. You can send only unstaked TIA held in a celestia1 account. Delegated TIA has to finish unbonding first. TIA you moved to another Cosmos chain over IBC is a different denomination there and has to be sent back to Celestia before you swap it.

### Tips

- Paste a Solana address from Phantom or Solflare (32 to 44 base58 characters, no 0x). Keplr gives you a celestia1 address, which cannot hold DRIFT.
- If the deposit screen shows an Extra ID (memo) next to the TIA address, type it into the memo field on Keplr's send screen exactly as shown. If no memo is shown, leave the field empty.
- Enter your celestia1 sending address as the refund address. Put a little SOL in the receiving wallet so you can move the DRIFT later.

### Can I swap TIA to DRIFT without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Enter your Solana address, add your celestia1 address for refunds and send the TIA.

### How can I tell the DRIFT I received is the real token?

Look at the mint in your wallet or on Solscan. The DRIFT mint address starts with DriFtup. A token with the same name but a different mint is not Drift's governance token.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap TIA to DRIFT on GhostSwap?

Most TIA to DRIFT swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the TIA deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Celestia, then the DRIFT is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute.

### Can I send TIA straight to my DRIFT address?

No. TIA moves on Celestia and DRIFT on Solana, so TIA can only be sent to a Celestia address. To swap, send the TIA to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the DRIFT is paid to the Solana address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token.

### What wallet and address do I need to receive DRIFT?

Use a Solana address from a wallet you control, such as Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. The address is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Sending DRIFT to an address on another network can lose the coins. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the DRIFT is sent straight to the address you enter.

### What happens if my TIA to DRIFT exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the TIA is refunded to the Celestia address you entered as the sender address.
