Algorand to Bittensor: moving ALGO into TAO
ALGO to TAO is for Algorand holders who want to take part in Bittensor, a network where subnets reward machine-learning work in TAO. A common reason is to stake TAO with a validator or into a subnet from a wallet you control. The TAO is paid on the native Bittensor chain to the coldkey address you enter, with no account.
Algorand produces a block about every three seconds, and each block is final as soon as it is added, so the ALGO deposit is credited within a minute. Bittensor adds a block about every 12 seconds, and most swaps finish in 5 to 15 minutes. The two address formats look nothing alike: Algorand uses 58 capital letters and digits, while Bittensor uses SS58 addresses that start with 5.
Tips for this swap
- Paste a Bittensor coldkey address in SS58 format, starting with 5, from Talisman or Nova Wallet. An Algorand address cannot receive TAO.
- Use your coldkey, not a hotkey. Hotkeys sign mining and validating work; your balance and stake are managed from the coldkey.
- Send ALGO from your own Pera or Defly wallet and enter that 58-character address as the refund address.
Can I swap ALGO to TAO without an account?
Yes. GhostSwap asks for no sign-up, email or ID on standard swaps. Paste your Bittensor address, check the floating rate and send the ALGO from your Algorand wallet.
Do I need to add a note to the ALGO transfer?
No. Algorand transfers have an optional note field, but this swap does not use it. Send the ALGO to the deposit address shown; the TAO payout needs only your Bittensor address.
