How the BTC to WBTC swap works

Step 01

Enter your BTC amount

Open the pair with both sides preselected and type the amount of Bitcoin you are converting. The quote for WBTC updates with it, all-in, before anything is committed.

Step 02

Compare the live offers

The instant-exchange network returns competing offers for the pair and the best net WBTC amount is shown. The number you approve is the number that executes; there is no spread behind it.

Step 03

Confirm once

Step 04

Receive WBTC at your address

This pair crosses networks: the BTC leaves on Bitcoin (UTXO) and the WBTC arrives on EVM. The instant-exchange network handles both legs as one quoted trade, so the crossing is priced into the offer you approve rather than added after the fact.

Fees and settlement

Two costs, both on the screen before you sign: the flat 0.50% platform fee on the swap, and the networks' own gas for the movement. What you approve is what executes. The WBTC arrives at the address you picked, settles Follows Ethereum (~12 confirmations), and never touches a platform wallet at any point in the route.

Before you start

The setup is short by design: one wallet capable of holding BTC, one receiving address for the WBTC, and nothing else. Read the preview before signing, since it carries the entire trade at a glance, the amounts in and out with the fee and network costs included. The wallet stays yours throughout and signs only the transaction you read on screen.
