## Tezos to Cronos (CRO): getting native CRO on Cronos POS

XTZ to CRO swaps Tezos for CRO, the coin behind the Cronos chains and the Crypto.com ecosystem. On this pair CRO is paid on Cronos POS Chain (formerly Crypto.org Chain), where addresses start with cro1, not on the 0x-style Cronos EVM network. The coin has the same name on both networks, but the two are not interchangeable.

The XTZ deposit is usually confirmed within a few minutes, and CRO payouts on Cronos POS Chain settle soon after they are sent. If the cro1 address belongs to an exchange account, the payout also needs that account's memo, entered in the Payment ID field.

### Tips

- Enter a Cronos POS address starting with cro1. A 0x Cronos EVM or Ethereum address cannot receive this payout.
- Paying out to an exchange account? Copy its memo into the Payment ID field. For your own wallet, leave that field empty.
- Send XTZ from a tz1, tz2 or tz3 address you control (Temple, Kukai or a Ledger) and enter it as the refund address.

### Can I swap Tezos for CRO without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap has no KYC step: no account, email or ID. Paste your cro1 address, add a Payment ID only for an exchange account, and send the XTZ.

### Can I receive CRO on Cronos EVM instead?

Not on this pair: GhostSwap pays CRO on Cronos POS Chain. Check that your wallet supports Cronos POS before you enter the address.

## FAQ

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

When you exchange Tezos to Cronos on GhostSwap, the process typically takes a few minutes on Tezos for your XTZ to confirm on the Tezos network. Once confirmed, your Cronos is sent to your wallet and arrives within a few minutes on Cronos. Total swap time is usually under 30 minutes, though network congestion can occasionally cause delays.

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

No. GhostSwap is a non-custodial, no-KYC exchange. You can convert Tezos to Cronos without creating an account, uploading ID documents, or providing any personal information. Just enter your Cronos wallet address, send your XTZ, and receive your CRO — that's it.

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

GhostSwap charges a small service fee that's already included in the exchange rate you see — there are no hidden fees. On top of that, Tezos network fees are paid in XTZ. The rate shown in the swap preview is the exact amount of CRO you'll receive.

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

To receive Cronos from your swap, we recommend using Crypto.com DeFi Wallet or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cronos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your CRO address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### Can I track my XTZ to CRO 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 CRO on the Cronos explorer.

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

Yes. GhostSwap is a non-custodial exchange, which means we never hold your funds or private keys. Your Tezos is converted and sent directly to your Cronos wallet address. We don't store personal data, and all swaps are processed through secure, encrypted connections.

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

Tezos runs on the Tezos network while Cronos runs on the Cronos network — they can't be sent directly to each other. GhostSwap handles the cross-chain conversion for you: you send XTZ to our temporary deposit address, we convert it, and send the equivalent CRO to your wallet. No bridge protocols or technical knowledge required.

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

In the rare case of a failed exchange, GhostSwap will automatically attempt to refund your XTZ to the refund address you provided. If you didn't provide a refund address, or if you need assistance, our support team is available to help resolve the issue. Most problems are caused by sending the wrong amount or using an incompatible wallet address.
