## FAQ

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

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

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

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Ethereum address that should receive the FLIP, send TAO from your own wallet, and the FLIP goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Bittensor to Chainflip?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the FLIP 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 FLIP?

To receive Chainflip from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby, or a hardware wallet like Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your FLIP address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the FLIP address?

Use a Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending FLIP to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my TAO to FLIP 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 TAO payment on Taostats (https://taostats.io) and your incoming FLIP on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your TAO deposit is converted and the FLIP is sent straight to the Ethereum address you enter, so check that address twice — Ethereum transfers cannot be reversed.

### How does a cross-chain TAO to FLIP swap work?

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

### What happens if my TAO to FLIP 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.
