THETA is the staking and governance coin of Theta Network, a chain built for video delivery and edge computing, where THETA is staked in validator and guardian nodes. This pair lets TAO holders move into THETA in one step, without selling to a stablecoin first. The THETA is paid as the native coin on Theta mainnet, with no account. Most swaps finish in 10 to 25 minutes, and most of that time goes to crediting the TAO deposit. Theta has a second native coin, TFUEL, which pays every transaction fee on the chain. A wallet that holds only THETA cannot move or stake it until it also has some TFUEL. ### Tips - Theta addresses are 0x plus 40 hexadecimal characters, the same format as Ethereum. Paste one from Theta Wallet, where you can see and stake the THETA. - Plan for TFUEL before you need it. TFUEL is a separate coin in the list, so a small second swap can fund the same Theta address. - Use your coldkey address (SS58, starting with 5) as the refund address and send the TAO from it. Do not use a hotkey: hotkeys sign mining and validating work and are not meant to hold funds. ### Can I swap TAO to THETA without registering? Yes. There is no account, email or ID for a standard swap. Paste your Theta address, check the floating rate and send the TAO. ### Is the THETA an ERC-20 token? No. THETA started as an ERC-20 token but has run on its own mainnet since 2019. This pair pays native THETA on Theta mainnet. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap TAO to THETA on GhostSwap? Most TAO to THETA swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the TAO deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Bittensor, then the THETA is sent to your wallet, and Theta Network confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 TAO in THETA? At 9 Oct 2026, 21:27 UTC, 1 TAO swapped to about 1,230.59 THETA on GhostSwap, after the service fee.

Bittensor lives on Bittensor and THETA on Theta Network, two separate blockchains.
