## FAQ

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

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

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

At 11 Oct 2026, 19:43 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 148,511.95 DRIFT on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the DRIFT 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 DRIFT?

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

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

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

To receive Drift from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DRIFT address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the DRIFT 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. Sending DRIFT to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my XMR to DRIFT 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 DRIFT on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

### Will my DRIFT 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 DRIFT you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Solana (SPL token) 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 DRIFT swap work?

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

### What happens if my XMR to DRIFT 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.
