Your TAO is paid on Bittensor. Use an address that starts with 5 (SS58 format).
Type how much USDC you want to swap (minimum about 6.91 USDC). The TAO you will receive updates live.
A top no-KYC rate is already chosen for you. The form shows what you receive, how long it usually takes and the KYC rating of the route.

Enter the USDC amount on this page, paste your TAO address and send your USDC to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The TAO is paid directly to your wallet.
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 USDC to TAO rate for the amount you enter.
The minimum is about 6.91 USDC and the maximum about 2,157,973 USDC. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your USDC deposit to confirm on Solana, which takes usually under a minute. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Solana and Bittensor are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Your TAO is paid on Bittensor. Use an address that starts with 5 (SS58 format). Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Bittensor 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 Solana network fee to send the deposit.
Yes. The reverse direction, TAO to USDC (Solana), 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.
