## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap USDC to KAS on GhostSwap?

Most USDC to KAS swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the USDC deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the KAS is sent to your wallet, and Kaspa confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 USDC in KAS?

1 USDC is worth about 23.7517 KAS at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 3 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the KAS network fee. The rate floats with the market until your USDC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange USDC to KAS?

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

### What are the fees for converting USD Coin to Kaspa?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the KAS 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 USDC.

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

To receive Kaspa from your swap, we recommend using Kaspium or KasWare. Make sure your wallet supports the Kaspa network before starting the exchange. Double-check your KAS address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the KAS address?

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

### Do I need a Public key to receive KAS?

Only if the KAS goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Public key; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal KAS wallet does not need one.

### Can I track my USDC to KAS 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 USDC payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming KAS on Kaspa Explorer (https://explorer.kaspa.org).

### Is it safe to exchange USDC for KAS on GhostSwap?

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

### Why swap USDC to KAS?

Converting USD Coin to Kaspa moves dollar-pegged funds into Kaspa. Kaspa is used for fast proof-of-work payments. Unlike a stablecoin, its price moves with the market. GhostSwap needs no account on a centralized exchange and no KYC.

### What happens if my USDC to KAS exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the USDC 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.
