Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the BTC amount and paste your Dogecoin payout address on Dogecoin mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send BTC to that deposit. After confirmations, DOGE is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- One on-chain confirmation is usually enough before your payout leg starts.
- BTC confirmation time depends on mempool congestion and the fee you paid.
- SegWit deposit addresses keep fees lower. If your wallet cannot send to SegWit, contact support before sending.
- DOGE not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Bitcoin — the original digital asset
Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.
Before you send BTC
- Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
- Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
- Send only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the address on your order page.
How long until Bitcoin confirms?
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.
Dogecoin — fast, low-fee payments
DOGE started as a meme coin but remains widely used for tips and transfers — quick blocks and low fees on its own mainnet.
DOGE payout not showing?
Refresh your wallet and verify the receive address matches your order exactly.
When will DOGE arrive?
Dogecoin blocks target about one minute — payouts usually follow within several confirmations.
- Use a Dogecoin mainnet wallet, not a wrapped or exchange-only address on another chain.
- Check the payout tx on a Dogecoin explorer using the hash from your order page.
- Low network congestion means DOGE payouts are often faster than Bitcoin routes.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade BTC for DOGE?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Bitcoin → Dogecoin.
How long is a BTC → DOGE order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Bitcoin mainnet and Dogecoin mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody BTC or DOGE?
No. You send BTC yourself and DOGE is paid to the address you enter — GetSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong BTC network?
Match the network printed on the order (Bitcoin mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
