Do I need an account to swap BTC?

No. Select the pair in the form, enter the amount, paste the receiving address and send the deposit. No registration, no KYC.

What is the minimum BTC swap?

The minimum is shown in the form when you select a pair; it moves with network fees and is typically the equivalent of a few tens of dollars.

Can I swap Bitcoin to Monero here?

Yes — BTC to XMR and XMR to BTC both have dedicated pages with the form pre-selected. XMR is the most requested destination for BTC on SyntheticSwap.

Which stablecoin networks can I receive from a BTC swap?

USDT on TRON (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20) and BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), and USDC on Ethereum. TRC-20 is the cheapest to move afterwards.

Is the rate fixed when I start the swap?

No. The rate is floating: you see a live estimate, and the final amount is locked at the market rate when your BTC deposit confirms.

Can I send from an exchange withdrawal?

Yes, as long as the exchange sends exactly the amount shown for the swap and does not deduct its fee from it. Always fill in a refund address in case the amount arrives outside the limits.

About Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most valuable cryptocurrency, running continuously since January 2009 on a proof-of-work network secured by more computing power than any other system. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins, issued on a halving schedule that cuts the block reward every four years; the April 2024 halving reduced it to 3.125 BTC per block.

Bitcoin's ledger is fully transparent: every transaction and balance is public, and address clustering is routine for analytics firms and exchanges. That transparency is one of the main reasons people move between BTC and privacy-preserving assets like Monero and Zcash, or into stablecoins on cheap networks for day-to-day transfers.

SyntheticSwap lets you swap BTC to Ethereum, Monero, Zcash, XRP, Stellar and USDT/USDC on several networks without an account. Because Bitcoin blocks arrive every ten minutes on average and the deposit needs 2 confirmations, a BTC-funded swap typically completes in 20–40 minutes; swaps into BTC are faster on the deposit side and then wait for one Bitcoin block on payout.

Before you swap BTC: what to check

•Receiving address format: 1…, 3…, bc1q… (native SegWit) or bc1p… (Taproot); no Lightning invoices.
•Network: Bitcoin. BTC exists on one network here; make sure your wallet sends on it.
•Deposit confirmations: 2 on Bitcoin (block time ~10 minutes). The rate is locked when the deposit confirms, not when you broadcast.
•Limits: minimum and maximum are shown in the form for each pair and change with fees and liquidity.
•Tracking: the status page shows each stage; deposits and payouts can be checked on blockchain.com.

Swapping BTC: fees and timing

Your deposit is an ordinary on-chain Bitcoin transaction, so the fee you pay to send it is set by your wallet and the mempool at that moment, not by SyntheticSwap. During congestion, a low-fee deposit can sit unconfirmed for hours; the swap only starts counting after the first confirmation, so choose a fee that confirms within a block or two.

The amount quoted in the form already includes the exchange spread and the destination network fee. For BTC-to-stablecoin swaps, TRON (TRC-20) and Solana payouts are the cheapest and fastest; Ethereum (ERC-20) payouts carry gas costs that matter for small amounts.

Address formats

When receiving BTC from a swap, any standard address works: legacy (1…), nested SegWit (3…), native SegWit bech32 (bc1q…) or Taproot (bc1p…). Native SegWit and Taproot addresses give you lower fees when you later spend the coins. Do not use a Lightning invoice — payouts are on-chain only.

Bitcoin history

2008Satoshi Nakamoto publishes the Bitcoin whitepaper on 31 October.
2009Genesis block mined on 3 January; the first transaction goes to Hal Finney.
2010First documented purchase with BTC — two pizzas for 10,000 BTC — and the first exchanges appear.
2012First halving cuts the block reward from 50 to 25 BTC.
2017SegWit activates after a long scaling dispute; Bitcoin Cash forks off; Lightning Network development accelerates.
2021Taproot activates in November, improving script privacy and efficiency; El Salvador adopts BTC as legal tender.
2024US spot Bitcoin ETFs begin trading in January; the fourth halving in April sets the block reward at 3.125 BTC.
2025Institutional and treasury holdings keep growing while on-chain privacy tools (CoinJoin, payjoin) face regulatory pressure — one driver of BTC↔XMR swap demand.

How to swap BTC

In the form above, choose the direction: BTC to the coin you want, or the other way round.
Enter the amount — the estimated amount you receive updates live; minimums are shown in the form.
Paste the receiving address and, optionally, a refund address.
Click “Swap now” and send exactly the shown amount to the deposit address from any wallet you control.
After 2 confirmations the payout is sent; track it on the status page. No account, no KYC.

How to store BTC

For meaningful amounts use a hardware wallet (Coldcard, Trezor, Ledger, BitBox) with the seed written down offline. Sparrow Wallet on desktop and BlueWallet or Nunchuk on mobile are solid self-custody options that can connect to your own node.

Avoid reusing addresses: generate a fresh receiving address for each swap payout. Address reuse is the easiest way to link your transactions on a public chain.

If something looks wrong

The deposit is not showing up

Check the transaction in your wallet or on blockchain.com: it must be on Bitcoin. Until it has 2 confirmations the status page shows it as pending — this is normal.

I sent a different amount than quoted

Amounts inside the limits are recalculated at the current floating rate. Amounts below the minimum cannot be processed and are returned to the refund address you gave (minus the network fee).

I sent on the wrong network

Funds sent on a network other than Bitcoin do not reach the deposit address automatically. Contact support with the transaction hash and the swap ID from the status page.

The payout has not arrived

Once the deposit is confirmed, the payout is broadcast within minutes. Check the destination address on its explorer; if the receiving service needs a memo or tag that was not provided, ask them to credit it manually with the transaction hash.

The rate changed while I waited

Rates are floating and locked at deposit confirmation. Slow confirmation (low fee, congested network) is the usual reason for a difference from the first estimate.

Frequently asked questions

A BTC deposit needs 2 confirmations, roughly 20 minutes on average but longer if your transaction fee is low. After that the payout on the destination chain usually takes seconds to a few minutes.
