## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Polkadot from your swap, we recommend using Polkadot.js, Nova Wallet, or Fearless Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Polkadot network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DOT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the DOT address?

Use a Polkadot address: it starts with 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my XAUT to DOT 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 DOT on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my XAUT to DOT 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.
