    Exchange in 3 steps

    1. Choose how much BTC to send and enter your Ethereum mainnet wallet address.

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

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

    What do you need to know?

    • In most cases, a single Bitcoin confirmation is enough for us to process your ETH payout.
    • How fast BTC confirms depends on network load and the fee you attach — congested mempools mean longer waits.
    • We prefer SegWit BTC deposit addresses for lower fees and faster inclusion. If your wallet only supports legacy formats, contact support before you send.
    • ETH not visible yet? Give it a few minutes and resync your wallet. If the order already shows a sent transaction, contact support with your order ID.

    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.

    You receive

    Ethereum — programmable money on-chain

    ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.

    What if my ETH hasn't arrived?

    Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.

    Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.

    How fast is the ETH payout?

    Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.

    Receiving ETH on the correct network

    • Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
    • Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
    • Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.

    Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts

    The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.

    • Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
    • Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.
