## FAQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

To receive Orca from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare, or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ORCA address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ORCA address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending ORCA to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my XTZ to ORCA 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 ORCA on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my XTZ to ORCA 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.
