Onboarding & Setup

Welcome to TAO.BOT! The first step to accessing our platform is connecting your Ethereum wallet. This wallet will serve as your identity on TAO.BOT, allowing you to trade, deposit, withdraw, and interact with the full Bittensor ecosystem—all from a single, streamlined interface.

​

How to Get Started

​

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

Click the “Connect Wallet” button at the top-right. TAO.BOT supports popular Ethereum wallets like MetaMask and WalletConnect.

​

Step 2: Select Your Wallet

After clicking “Connect Wallet,” choose your preferred Ethereum wallet. If you already have MetaMask installed, simply select it. For mobile users or others, WalletConnect is an excellent choice.

​

Step 3: Approve the Connection

Once you select a wallet, follow the on-screen prompts in your wallet app to approve the connection to TAO.BOT. You’ll typically sign a simple message—no private keys or sensitive information are shared.

​

Step 4: Account Setup Complete

After your wallet is connected, TAO.BOT registers your wallet address as your account. You’re now ready to explore the platform! Your account dashboard will display your TAO balance, let you deposit funds, swap tokens, and more.

​

What Is “On-Site TAO”?

When you deposit ETH or USDC into TAO.BOT, our system automatically converts those assets into TAO within your account. We refer to this balance as on-site TAO. It’s the primary currency for trading and staking on the platform. You can withdraw your on-site TAO to Ethereum at any time, converting it back into ETH or USDC through the bridging process—so your funds remain accessible whenever you need them.
