## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap XAUT to ALGO on GhostSwap?

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

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange XAUT to ALGO?

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

### What are the fees for converting Tether Gold to Algorand?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ALGO 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 XAUT.

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

To receive Algorand from your swap, we recommend using Pera Wallet or Defly. Make sure your wallet supports the Algorand network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ALGO address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ALGO address?

Use a Algorand address: it is 58 characters of capital letters and digits. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my XAUT to ALGO 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 XAUT payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ALGO on Allo (https://allo.info).

### Is it safe to exchange XAUT for ALGO on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain XAUT to ALGO swap work?

Tether Gold lives on Ethereum and Algorand on Algorand, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XAUT on Ethereum and pays native ALGO on Algorand, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my XAUT to ALGO exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the XAUT 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.
