TAO to DOT: questions and answers
How do I swap TAO to DOT without KYC?
Enter the TAO amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your DOT address and send your TAO to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The DOT is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the TAO to DOT exchange rate?
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current TAO to DOT rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for TAO to DOT?
The minimum is about 0.0177 TAO and the maximum about 5,520 TAO. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a TAO to DOT swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your TAO deposit to confirm on Bittensor, which takes about a minute. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping TAO to DOT anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Bittensor and Polkadot are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which DOT address should I use?
Your DOT is paid on Polkadot. Use an address that starts with 1. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the TAO to DOT rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Polkadot network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Bittensor network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap DOT back to TAO?
Yes. The reverse direction, DOT to TAO, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
