## FAQ

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

Most XLM to FLIP swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your XLM deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Stellar; after that the FLIP is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

To receive Chainflip from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby, or a hardware wallet like Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your FLIP address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the FLIP address?

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

### Can I track my XLM to FLIP 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 FLIP on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

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

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

Stellar lives on Stellar and Chainflip on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XLM on Stellar and pays native FLIP on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my XLM to FLIP 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.
