Steps to Convert BTC to TAO

  1. Click Trade BTC → TAO to open app.torque.fi with sell=BTC and buy=TAO pre-filled.
  2. Confirm you have enough unified balance in the BTC and TAO product buckets for the trade.
  3. Adjust slippage if needed (URL param slippage or Trade settings). Large same-chain sells over $10,000 may use tighter slippage.
  4. Review the quote — platform fee, slippage, and estimated output — then confirm. Torque routes from your unified balance automatically.
  5. Track one portfolio balance in Torque. Perps positions and PnL appear on trade and perps surfaces; drill into composition only if you want bucket detail.

FAQ

How do I convert BTC to TAO on Torque?

Why might BTC to TAO fail to route?

Torque is non-custodial: you sign in with email or Google, receive a Torque smart account, and authorize each transaction. Torque routes execution and maintains ledger intents but does not hold your private keys like a centralized exchange.
