## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap ZEC to ICP on GhostSwap?

Most ZEC to ICP swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the ZEC deposit needs about 10–20 minutes to confirm on Zcash, then the ICP is sent to your wallet, and Internet Computer confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ZEC in ICP?

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ZEC to ICP?

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

### What are the fees for converting Zcash to Internet Computer?

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

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

To receive Internet Computer from your swap, we recommend using NNS dapp, Plug or OISY. Make sure your wallet supports the Internet Computer network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ICP address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ICP address?

Use an Internet Computer address: it is a 64-character account ID. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ZEC to ICP 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 ZEC payment on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash) and your incoming ICP on the ICP Dashboard (https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org).

### Is it safe to exchange ZEC for ICP on GhostSwap?

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

### Will my ICP be linked to my ZEC?

Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. Coins sent from a private balance keep their history out of public view. The ICP you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Internet Computer blockchain with no visible connection to your ZEC holdings. GhostSwap requires no KYC, so there's no account linking the two.

### How does a cross-chain ZEC to ICP swap work?

Zcash lives on Zcash and Internet Computer on Internet Computer, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ZEC on Zcash and pays native ICP on Internet Computer, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### Is it legal to own and swap Zcash?

In most countries, yes: owning and swapping Zcash is not banned, although some centralized exchanges have stopped listing privacy coins in certain regions. Privacy is a legitimate need, and using privacy-enhancing tools is not illegal in itself. You are responsible for following the cryptocurrency rules where you live.

### What happens if my ZEC to ICP exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ZEC is refunded to the Zcash 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.
