No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Bittensor to Filecoin?

Bittensor lives on Bittensor and Filecoin on Filecoin, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your TAO on Bittensor and pays native FIL on Filecoin, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my TAO to FIL 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.
