Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ORDI to send and enter your Bitcoin address on Bitcoin mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer ORDI to the address on your order — after confirmations, BTC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Deposits on Ordinals (BRC-20) follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Send only on Ordinals (BRC-20) — other networks are not interchangeable.
- Double-check the network on your order page before you send.
- BTC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Ordinals on Ordinals (BRC-20)

Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Ordinals (BRC-20).
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.
