## FAQ

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

Most TAO to XTZ swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the TAO deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Bittensor, then the XTZ is sent to your wallet, and Tezos confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 TAO in XTZ?

1 TAO is worth about 951.0031 XTZ at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the XTZ 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 XTZ?

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

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

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

To receive Tezos from your swap, we recommend using Temple or Kukai. Make sure your wallet supports the Tezos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XTZ address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the XTZ address?

Use a Tezos address: it starts with tz1, tz2 or tz3. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my TAO to XTZ 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 XTZ on TzKT (https://tzkt.io).

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

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

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

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

### What happens if my TAO to XTZ 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.
