## FAQ

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

Most TAO to PAXG swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your TAO deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Bittensor; after that the PAXG 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 PAXG?

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

### What are the fees for converting Bittensor to PAX Gold?

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

To receive PAX Gold from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum network before starting the exchange. Double-check your PAXG address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the PAXG 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 PAXG to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my TAO to PAXG 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 PAXG on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your TAO deposit is converted and the PAXG 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 PAXG swap work?

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

### What happens if my TAO to PAXG 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.
