## FAQ

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

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

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

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

### What are the fees for converting USD Coin to PAX Gold?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the PAXG 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 PAXG?

To receive PAX Gold from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum network before starting the exchange. Double-check your PAXG address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the PAXG address?

Use a Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending PAXG to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my USDC to PAXG 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).

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

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

### Why swap USDC to PAXG?

Converting USD Coin to PAX Gold allows you to move from a stable, dollar-pegged asset into PAX Gold for the PAX Gold token on Ethereum. Using GhostSwap means you can enter a PAXG position privately, without signing up for a centralized exchange or completing KYC verification.

### What happens if my USDC to PAXG 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.
