### FAQ

* Check your network connection, verify that you followed all steps correctly, and try the process again.

2. How long does the locking or unlocking process take?&#x20;

* Transactions are typically processed within a few minutes, depending on current network conditions.

3. Can I exchange or refund an asset after it is locked?&#x20;
