Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the BTC amount and paste the Ethereum mainnet address that should collect ETH.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s BTC deposit details.
-
Send exactly that BTC amount to the deposit. After Bitcoin confirms, ETH is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- A single Bitcoin confirmation is usually enough for us to start the ETH payout.
- BTC inclusion speed tracks mempool load and the fee you attach — a congested mempool means a longer wait.
- SegWit BTC deposit addresses keep fees lower and inclusion faster. If your wallet only sends legacy formats, contact support before you broadcast.
- ETH not in the wallet yet? Wait a few minutes and refresh. If the order already lists a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
Bitcoin on ToSwap — liquidity without a login
BTC is still the deepest on-ramp into crypto. On ToSwap you keep the keys: quote first, broadcast native Bitcoin, collect XMR, ETH, stables, or another indexed payout — anonymous no-KYC, no hosted balance.
BTC deposit checklist
- Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
- Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
- Broadcast only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the deposit shown on your order.
How long does a BTC deposit take?
Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.
- Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
- Explorers show queue position — compare against pending transaction volume.
- Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.
Why traders move BTC to other chains
Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition — many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.
Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.
Ethereum on ToSwap — L1 gas, wallet-to-wallet
ETH settles smart contracts and pays L1 gas. ToSwap routes mainnet ETH without signup: match the L1 badge, leave gas above the swap amount, receive at the address you paste.
ETH payout not showing?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
ETH payout timing
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
ETH must land on the listed chain
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

FAQ for this route
Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for BTC → ETH?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Bitcoin to Ethereum order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does ETH usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Bitcoin mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Bitcoin mainnet or Ethereum mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my BTC or ETH?
No hosted balance. You broadcast BTC from a wallet you control; ETH is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send BTC on the wrong network?
Match Bitcoin mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
