## FAQ

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

Most HBAR to TAO swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your HBAR deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Hedera; 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 HBAR to TAO?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bittensor address that should receive the TAO, send HBAR 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 Hedera Hashgraph 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 Hedera network fee for your deposit is paid in HBAR by your wallet.

### 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 HBAR 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 HBAR payment on HashScan (https://hashscan.io) and your incoming TAO on Taostats (https://taostats.io).

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

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

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the HBAR is refunded to the Hedera 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.
