Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much SOL 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 SOL to the address on your order — after confirmations, BTC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Solana confirmations are fast — often under a minute for practical purposes.
- Network outages or congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Use a Solana mainnet address (base58). Do not send SPL tokens unless the order specifies a token mint.
- 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.
Solana — high-speed layer-1
SOL is the native token of Solana — built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large ecosystem of on-chain apps.
Solana deposit tips
Send native SOL on Solana mainnet. Token deposits require the exact asset your order lists.
Keep a small SOL balance for rent-exempt account requirements in some wallets.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap SOL to BTC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Solana to Bitcoin swaps.
How long does SOL to BTC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Solana mainnet and Bitcoin mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is SOL to BTC non-custodial?
Yes. You send SOL from your wallet and receive BTC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send SOL on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Solana mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
