## FAQ

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

Most XTZ to AVAX swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your XTZ deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Tezos; after that the AVAX is sent to your wallet and Avalanche X-Chain confirms it in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

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

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

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

To receive Avalanche from your swap, we recommend using Core Wallet, using its X-Chain address (starts with X-avax1). For AVAX in MetaMask or another 0x wallet, pick AVAX C-Chain instead. Make sure your wallet supports the Avalanche X-Chain network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AVAX address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the AVAX address?

Use a Avalanche X-Chain address: it starts with X-avax1 (an X-Chain address; 0x C-Chain addresses are not accepted). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my XTZ to AVAX 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 AVAX on Avascan (https://avascan.info).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my XTZ to AVAX 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.
