## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Link 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 LINK address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

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

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

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

### Will my LINK 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 LINK 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 LINK swap work?

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

### What happens if my XMR to LINK 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.
