## FAQ

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

Most XMR to LDO swaps finish in 20–60 minutes. Your XMR deposit needs about 20 minutes (10 confirmations) to confirm on Monero; after that the LDO is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

At 2 Oct 2026, 08:12 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 6,009.43 LDO on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the LDO 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 LDO?

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

### What are the fees for converting Monero to Lido DAO?

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

To receive Lido DAO from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum network before starting the exchange. Double-check your LDO address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the LDO address?

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

### Can I track my XMR to LDO 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 XMR payment on XMRChain (limited info due to Monero's privacy features) (https://xmrchain.net) and your incoming LDO on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

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

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

Since 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 LDO you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Ethereum 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 LDO swap work?

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

### What happens if my XMR to LDO 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.
