## FAQ

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

Most GRT to TAO swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your GRT deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; after that the TAO is sent to your wallet and Bittensor confirms it in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

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

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bittensor address that should receive the TAO, send GRT 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 The Graph 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 ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending GRT.

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

To receive Bittensor from your swap, we recommend using Talisman, Nova Wallet, or the Bittensor wallet CLI. 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 GRT 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 GRT payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming TAO on Taostats (https://taostats.io).

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

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

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the GRT is refunded to the Ethereum 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.
