## FAQ

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

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

### How much is 1 USDC in PYUSD?

1 USDC is worth about 1.0000 PYUSD at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 4 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the PYUSD 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 PYUSD?

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

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

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

To receive PayPal USD from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your PYUSD address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the PYUSD address?

Use an 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 PYUSD to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my USDC to PYUSD 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 PYUSD on GhostSwap?

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

### What happens if my USDC to PYUSD 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.
