    Exchange in 3 steps

    1. Choose how much BTC to send and enter your Avalanche address on Avalanche C-Chain.

    2. Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.

    3. Transfer BTC to the address on your order — after confirmations, AVAX is sent to your wallet automatically.

    What do you need to know?

    • One on-chain confirmation is usually enough before your payout leg starts.
    • BTC confirmation time depends on mempool congestion and the fee you paid.
    • SegWit deposit addresses keep fees lower. If your wallet cannot send to SegWit, contact support before sending.
    • AVAX not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.

    Bitcoin — the original digital asset

    Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.

    Before you send BTC

    • Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
    • Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
    • Send only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the address on your order page.

    How long until Bitcoin confirms?

    Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.

    • Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
    • Explorers show queue position — compare against pending transaction volume.
    • Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.

    Why traders move BTC to other chains

    Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition — many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.

    Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.

    AVAX payout tips

    • Check Snowtrace or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
    • Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.
