## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Solana from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana network before starting the exchange. Double-check your SOL address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the SOL address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my XLM to SOL 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 SOL on Solana Explorer (https://explorer.solana.com).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my XLM to SOL 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.
