## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap XRP to DOT on GhostSwap?

Most XRP to DOT swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your XRP deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on XRP Ledger; after that the DOT is sent to your wallet and Polkadot confirms it in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange XRP to DOT?

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

### What are the fees for converting XRP to Polkadot?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DOT amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the XRP Ledger network fee for your deposit is paid in XRP by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive DOT?

To receive Polkadot from your swap, we recommend using Nova Wallet, Talisman or SubWallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Polkadot network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DOT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the DOT address?

Use a Polkadot address: it starts with 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my XRP to DOT 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 XRP payment on XRPScan (https://xrpscan.com) and your incoming DOT on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange XRP for DOT on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain XRP to DOT swap work?

XRP lives on XRP Ledger and Polkadot on Polkadot, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XRP on XRP Ledger and pays native DOT on Polkadot, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my XRP to DOT exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the XRP is refunded to the XRP Ledger 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.
