USDC to TAO: dollars on Ethereum into a Bittensor coldkey

USDC to TAO takes USD Coin from Ethereum and pays it out as TAO, the coin that rewards miners and validators across Bittensor's network of AI subnets. It is the usual route for someone holding a dollar balance on Ethereum who wants TAO to stake or to keep in a Bittensor wallet. The TAO is paid natively on Bittensor to the SS58 address you enter, with no account.

The USDC deposit is an ERC-20 transfer, so it needs ETH for gas and takes about 2 to 5 minutes to confirm; most swaps finish in 10 to 25 minutes. The payout arrives as free, unstaked TAO. Since the dynamic TAO upgrade of February 2025, staking into a subnet converts TAO into that subnet's alpha token, while stake on the root network stays in TAO.

Tips for this swap

  • Paste your coldkey address, the SS58 address starting with 5 that holds your balance, from Talisman, Nova Wallet or btcli. Your 0x Ethereum address cannot receive TAO.
  • Send USDC on Ethereum (ERC20) from your own wallet with some ETH for gas, and enter that 0x address as the refund address. USDC on Base, Solana or BNB Smart Chain is a separate coin in the exchange box.
  • To check the payout, search your 5... address on Taostats once the swap shows as sent.

Can I buy TAO with USDC without an account?

Yes. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID. Enter your Bittensor address, check the floating rate and send the USDC from your Ethereum wallet.

Will the TAO arrive already staked?

No. It arrives as free TAO at the address you entered. Staking is a separate step you take afterwards in your wallet or with btcli.

USDC

What is USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum?

USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum is a regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, issued by Circle. Unlike algorithmic stablecoins, USDC is backed by cash and short-term US Treasury bonds, with regular attestations of reserves. USDC is widely used across DeFi protocols for lending, borrowing, and providing liquidity, and is accepted as payment by a growing number of merchants. As an ERC-20 token, USDC benefits from Ethereum's vast ecosystem but incurs gas fees for transfers.

TAO

What is Bittensor?
