## FAQ

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

Most VET to BTC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the VET deposit needs under a minute to confirm on VeChainThor, then the BTC is sent to your wallet, and Bitcoin confirms the payout in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 VET in BTC?

1 VET is worth about 0.0000000992 BTC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the BTC network fee. The rate floats with the market until your VET deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

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

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bitcoin address that should receive the BTC, send VET 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 VeChain 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, the VeChainThor network fee for your deposit is paid in VET by your wallet.

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

To receive Bitcoin from your swap, we recommend using Sparrow, Electrum or a hardware wallet. 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 VET 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 VET payment on VeChain Explorer (https://explore.vechain.org) and your incoming BTC on mempool.space (https://mempool.space).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your VET 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.

### How does a cross-chain VET to BTC swap work?

VeChain lives on VeChainThor and Bitcoin on Bitcoin, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your VET on VeChainThor and pays native BTC on Bitcoin, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the VET is refunded to the VeChainThor 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.
