## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap GMT to TAO on GhostSwap?

Most GMT to TAO swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the GMT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana, then the TAO is sent to your wallet, and Bittensor confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange GMT to TAO?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bittensor address that should receive the TAO, send GMT 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 STEPN 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, your wallet needs a little SOL to pay the Solana network fee for sending GMT.

### 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 GMT 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 GMT payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming TAO on Taostats (https://taostats.io).

### Is it safe to exchange GMT for TAO on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your GMT 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 GMT to TAO swap work?

STEPN lives on Solana and Bittensor on Bittensor, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your GMT on Solana and pays native TAO on Bittensor, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my GMT to TAO exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the GMT is refunded to the Solana 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.
