## FAQ

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

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

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

At 11 Oct 2026, 19:43 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 18,590.75 OP on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the OP 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 OP?

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

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

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

To receive Optimism from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the OP Mainnet (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your OP address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the OP address?

Use an OP Mainnet address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending OP to an address on another network can lose the coins.

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

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

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

### Will my OP 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 OP you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the OP Mainnet (Ethereum layer 2) 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 OP swap work?

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

### What happens if my XMR to OP 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.
