## FAQ

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

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

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

At 9 Oct 2026, 08:05 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 2,250.81 DOT on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the DOT 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 DOT?

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

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

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

To receive Polkadot from your swap, we recommend using Nova Wallet, Talisman or SubWallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Polkadot network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DOT address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the DOT address?

Use a Polkadot address: it starts with 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my XMR to DOT 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 DOT on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my XMR to DOT 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.
