## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap USDE to BTC on GhostSwap?

Most USDE to BTC swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your USDE deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the BTC is sent to your wallet and Bitcoin confirms it in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange USDE to BTC?

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

### What are the fees for converting Ethena USDe to Bitcoin?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the BTC 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 USDE.

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

To receive Bitcoin from your swap, we recommend using Electrum, Sparrow Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BTC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BTC address?

Use a Bitcoin address: it starts with bc1, 3 or 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my USDE to BTC 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 USDE payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming BTC on Mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

### Is it safe to exchange USDE for BTC on GhostSwap?

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

### Why swap USDE to BTC?

Converting Ethena USDe to Bitcoin allows you to move from a stable, dollar-pegged asset into Bitcoin for store of value, peer-to-peer payments, and long-term wealth preservation. Using GhostSwap means you can enter a BTC position privately, without signing up for a centralized exchange or completing KYC verification.

### What happens if my USDE to BTC exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the USDE 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.
