Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the ETH amount and paste the Bitcoin address that should collect payout on Bitcoin mainnet.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.
-
Send exactly that ETH amount to the deposit. After Base mainnet confirms, BTC is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Base confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ETH on Base mainnet only — not Ethereum L1, Optimism, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Base-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Base for gas on top of the swap amount.
- If BTC is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the order status. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — ToSwap has no login that can reopen expired pages.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
ETH on Base mainnet
Use a Base wallet for deposits. Ethereum mainnet ETH is a different network — wrong-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Base for gas in addition to the amount you swap.
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.
When can I spend the BTC payout?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
How to verify a 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.
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 ETH → BTC?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Ethereum (Base) to Bitcoin order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does BTC usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Base mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Base mainnet or Bitcoin mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my ETH or BTC?
No hosted balance. You broadcast ETH from a wallet you control; BTC is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send ETH on the wrong network?
Match Base mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
