## FAQ

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

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

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

At 11 Oct 2026, 19:43 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 40,815.16 SAND on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the SAND 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 SAND?

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

### What are the fees for converting Monero to The Sandbox?

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

To receive The Sandbox 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 SAND address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

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

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

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

### Will my SAND 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 SAND 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 SAND swap work?

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

### What happens if my XMR to SAND 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.
