## FAQ

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

When you exchange Monero to Cronos on GhostSwap, the process typically takes about 20 minutes (10 block confirmations) for your XMR to confirm on the Monero network. Once confirmed, your Cronos is sent to your wallet and arrives within a few minutes on Cronos. Most XMR to CRO swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes after you send; network congestion can occasionally add time, and the status page shows each step.

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

No. GhostSwap is a non-custodial, no-KYC exchange. You can convert Monero to Cronos without creating an account, uploading ID documents, or providing any personal information. Just enter your Cronos wallet address, send your XMR, and receive your CRO, that's it.

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

GhostSwap charges a small service fee that's already included in the exchange rate you see, there are no hidden fees. On top of that, Monero fees are extremely low. The swap box shows the estimated amount of CRO after fees before you send. The rate floats, so the final amount can differ slightly if the market moves before your deposit confirms.

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

To receive Cronos from your swap, we recommend using Crypto.com DeFi Wallet or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cronos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your CRO address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### Can I track my XMR to CRO 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 CRO on the Cronos explorer.

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

Yes. GhostSwap is a non-custodial exchange, which means we never hold your funds or private keys. Your Monero is converted and sent directly to your Cronos wallet address. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID, and all swaps run over encrypted connections.

### Will my CRO 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 CRO you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Cronos 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 CRO swap work?

Monero runs on the Monero network while Cronos runs on the Cronos network, they can't be sent directly to each other. GhostSwap handles the cross-chain conversion for you: you send XMR to our temporary deposit address, we convert it, and send the equivalent CRO to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required.

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

In the rare case of a failed exchange, your XMR is refunded to the address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems are caused by sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
