Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap TAO to USDT?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Bittensor to Tether swaps.
How long does TAO to USDT take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Bittensor mainnet and ERC-20 on Optimism confirmations and current network load.
Is TAO to USDT non-custodial?
Yes. You send TAO from your wallet and receive USDT directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send TAO on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Bittensor mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
