## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Tezos from your swap, we recommend using Temple or Kukai. Make sure your wallet supports the Tezos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XTZ address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the XTZ address?

Use a Tezos address: it starts with tz1, tz2 or tz3. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my USDC to XTZ 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 XTZ on TzKT (https://tzkt.io).

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

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

### Why swap USDC to XTZ?

Converting USD Coin to Tezos allows you to move from a stable, dollar-pegged asset into Tezos for transfers on Tezos. Using GhostSwap means you can enter a XTZ position privately, without signing up for a centralized exchange or completing KYC verification.

### What happens if my USDC to XTZ 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.
