## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap XMR to AAVE on GhostSwap?

Most XMR to AAVE swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the XMR deposit needs about 20 minutes (10 confirmations) to confirm on Monero, then the AAVE is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much AAVE do I get for 5 XMR?

At 8 Oct 2026, 20:07 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 15.5921 AAVE on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the AAVE network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange XMR to AAVE?

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

### What are the fees for converting Monero to Aave?

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

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

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

### What format is the AAVE address?

Use an 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 AAVE to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my XMR to AAVE 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 incoming AAVE on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange XMR for AAVE on GhostSwap?

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

### Will my AAVE be linked to my XMR?

Monero is private by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT hide the sender, the receiver and the amount of every transaction. The source of your funds is already protected. The AAVE you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Ethereum (ERC-20) blockchain with no visible connection to your XMR holdings. GhostSwap requires no KYC, so there's no account linking the two.

### How does a cross-chain XMR to AAVE swap work?

Monero lives on Monero and Aave on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XMR on Monero and pays native AAVE on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my XMR to AAVE exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the XMR is refunded to the Monero 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.
