Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and has run on its own network since 2009. New blocks arrive about every ten minutes, so Bitcoin deposits take longer to confirm than most.

Smallest swaps are measured for a swap into USDT · Tron (TRC-20); the minimum depends on the network fees on both sides. Without an identity check, the limits for your country may be lower: see the compliance policy.

Which network to pick

Use the Bitcoin network for normal wallet and exchange addresses, which start with bc1, 1 or 3. Lightning is a faster layer for small amounts: payouts there go to a Lightning address such as [email protected] or an LNURL, not to an invoice, so we can pay the exact amount after your deposit.
