Most TAO to TIA swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the TAO deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Bittensor, then the TIA is sent to your wallet, and Celestia confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 TAO in TIA? 1 TAO is worth about 491.8088 TIA at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 12 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the TIA network fee. The rate floats with the market until your TAO deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange TAO to TIA? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Celestia address that should receive the TIA, send TAO from your own wallet, and the TIA goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Bittensor to Celestia? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the TIA 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 TIA? To receive Celestia from your swap, we recommend using Keplr or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Celestia network before starting the exchange. Double-check your TIA address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the TIA address? Use a Celestia address: it starts with celestia1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Do I need an Extra ID to receive TIA? Only if the TIA goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you an Extra ID; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal TIA wallet does not need one. ### Can I track my TAO to TIA 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 TIA on Mintscan (https://www.mintscan.io/celestia). ### Is it safe to exchange TAO for TIA on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your TAO deposit is converted and the TIA is sent straight to the Celestia address you enter, so check that address twice, Celestia transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain TAO to TIA swap work? Bittensor lives on Bittensor and Celestia on Celestia, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your TAO on Bittensor and pays native TIA on Celestia, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my TAO to TIA 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: TIA to TAO](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/tia-tao/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/tia-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)
