## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap USDT TRC20 to DEGEN on GhostSwap?

Most USDT TRC20 to DEGEN swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the USDT TRC20 deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Tron, then the DEGEN is sent to your wallet, and Base confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange USDT TRC20 to DEGEN?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Base address that should receive the DEGEN, send USDT TRC20 from your own wallet, and the DEGEN goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Tether (TRC20) to Degen?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DEGEN amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little TRX to pay the Tron network fee for sending USDT TRC20.

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

To receive Degen from your swap, we recommend using Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the Base (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DEGEN address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the DEGEN address?

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

### Can I track my USDT TRC20 to DEGEN 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 USDT TRC20 payment on Tronscan (https://tronscan.org) and your incoming DEGEN on BaseScan (https://basescan.org).

### Is it safe to exchange USDT TRC20 for DEGEN on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your USDT TRC20 deposit is converted and the DEGEN is sent straight to the Base address you enter, so check that address twice — Base transfers cannot be reversed.

### Why swap USDT TRC20 to DEGEN?

Converting Tether (TRC20) to Degen moves dollar-pegged funds into Degen. Degen is used for tipping and rewards in the Farcaster/Degen community on Base. Unlike a stablecoin, its price moves with the market. GhostSwap needs no account on a centralized exchange and no KYC.

### What happens if my USDT TRC20 to DEGEN exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the USDT TRC20 is refunded to the Tron 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.
