No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Bittensor to Algorand? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ALGO amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Bittensor network fee for your deposit is paid in TAO by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive ALGO?

Your TAO deposit is converted and the ALGO is sent straight to the Algorand address you enter, so check that address twice, Algorand transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain TAO to ALGO swap work? Bittensor lives on Bittensor and Algorand on Algorand, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your TAO on Bittensor and pays native ALGO on Algorand, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my TAO to ALGO exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the TAO is refunded to the Bittensor 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: ALGO to TAO](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/algo-tao/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/algo-tao.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)
