## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap XTZ to AAVE on GhostSwap?

Most XTZ to AAVE swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your XTZ deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Tezos; after that the AAVE is sent to your wallet and Ethereum confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange XTZ to AAVE?

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

### What are the fees for converting Tezos to Aave?

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

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

To receive Aave from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby, or a hardware wallet like Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AAVE address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

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

### Can I track my XTZ to AAVE 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 XTZ payment on TzKT (https://tzkt.io) and your incoming AAVE on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange XTZ for AAVE on GhostSwap?

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

### How does a cross-chain XTZ to AAVE swap work?

Tezos lives on Tezos and Aave on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XTZ on Tezos and pays native AAVE on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my XTZ to AAVE exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the XTZ is refunded to the Tezos 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.
