## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap XLM to AVAX on GhostSwap?

Most XLM to AVAX swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the XLM deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Stellar, then the AVAX is sent to your wallet, and Avalanche X-Chain confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 XLM in AVAX?

1 XLM is worth about 0.020004 AVAX 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 AVAX network fee. The rate floats with the market until your XLM deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange XLM to AVAX?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Avalanche X-Chain address that should receive the AVAX, send XLM from your own wallet, and the AVAX goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Stellar to Avalanche?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the AVAX amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Stellar network fee for your deposit is paid in XLM by your wallet.

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

To receive Avalanche from your swap, we recommend using Core (copy its X-Chain address). For AVAX in MetaMask or another 0x wallet, pick AVAX C-Chain instead. Make sure your wallet supports the Avalanche X-Chain network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AVAX address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the AVAX address?

Use an Avalanche X-Chain address: it starts with X-avax1 (an X-Chain address; 0x C-Chain addresses are not accepted). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my XLM to AVAX 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 XLM payment on StellarExpert (https://stellar.expert) and your incoming AVAX on Avascan (https://avascan.info).

### Is it safe to exchange XLM for AVAX on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain XLM to AVAX swap work?

Stellar lives on Stellar and Avalanche on Avalanche X-Chain, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XLM on Stellar and pays native AVAX on Avalanche X-Chain, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my XLM to AVAX exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the XLM is refunded to the Stellar 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.
