Questions
How long does a SOL to TAO exchange take?
After you start, you have about 5 minutes to send. Once your SOL arrives, most transactions finish within a few minutes. Confirmations on each chain set the pace: under a minute for SOL on Solana and about a minute for TAO on Bittensor.
What is the minimum amount of SOL I can exchange?
The minimum and maximum depend on how much is available at the posted exchange rate, so they change through the day. This page shows the current limits, and the API returns them as minFromAmount and maxFromAmount.
Do I need an account?
You can check the exchange rate without one. To start a transaction you sign in with Google, GitHub or an anonymous access key: no password, and no wallet sign-up. Each transaction uses one credit, and eligible new accounts start with free credits.
Do I receive real TAO?
Yes. TAO arrives as the native asset on Bittensor, in the wallet you choose: nothing is wrapped, and no one holds your funds in between.
What happens if a transaction fails?
If it stops before you send, nothing moves and your credit comes back. If the other side does not deliver after you send, you are paid 110% of the transaction's value from the locked funds, in SOL or TAO, at your address. Make sure the receiving wallet can accept TAO before you start.
Can I get the SOL to TAO exchange rate from the API?
Yes. GET https://api-allways.venturalabs.ai/v1/rate?from=sol&to=tao&amount=0.5 returns the current exchange rate and limits with no key. Starting a transaction through the API needs an API key, which you create after signing in.
