Most PYUSD to TAO swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the PYUSD deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, 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 PYUSD in TAO?

1 PYUSD is worth about 0.003538 TAO at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 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 PYUSD deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

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

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bittensor address that should receive the TAO, send PYUSD 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 PayPal USD 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 PYUSD.

### 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.

If a swap cannot be completed, the PYUSD 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.
