- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.

Kaia
Always match KAIA on Kaia mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Kaia mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
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.
When is my BTC spendable?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
Checking your BTC payout
- Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
- Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
- Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.
