## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Algorand from your swap, we recommend using Pera Wallet or Defly. Make sure your wallet supports the Algorand network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ALGO address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ALGO address?

Use a Algorand address: it is 58 characters of capital letters and digits. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my XTZ to ALGO 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 ALGO on Allo (https://allo.info).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my XTZ to ALGO 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.
