Most ATOM to TAO swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ATOM deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Cosmos Hub, then the TAO is sent to your wallet, and Bittensor confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 ATOM in TAO? 1 ATOM is worth about 0.006413 TAO at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 12 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the TAO network fee. The rate floats with the market until your ATOM deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ATOM to TAO? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bittensor address that should receive the TAO, send ATOM from your own wallet, and the TAO goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Cosmos to Bittensor? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the TAO amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Cosmos Hub network fee for your deposit is paid in ATOM by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive TAO? To receive Bittensor from your swap, we recommend using Talisman or Nova Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Bittensor network before starting the exchange. Double-check your TAO address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the TAO address? Use a Bittensor address: it starts with 5 (SS58 format). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my ATOM to TAO 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 ATOM payment on Mintscan (https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos) and your incoming TAO on Taostats (https://taostats.io). ### Is it safe to exchange ATOM for TAO on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ATOM deposit is converted and the TAO is sent straight to the Bittensor address you enter, so check that address twice, Bittensor transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain ATOM to TAO swap work? Cosmos lives on Cosmos Hub and Bittensor on Bittensor, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ATOM on Cosmos Hub and pays native TAO on Bittensor, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my ATOM to TAO exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ATOM is refunded to the Cosmos Hub 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. ## Related - [Reverse: TAO to ATOM](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/tao-atom/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/tao-atom.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
