Before you broadcast
- Native on Arbitrum One confirmations are usually fast.
- Send ETH on Native on Arbitrum One only — not other L1/L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- Leave enough native gas token in your wallet for network fees.
- BTC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Ethereum on Arbitrum One
Always match ETH on Native on Arbitrum One when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Native on Arbitrum One.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
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.
When is my BTC spendable?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
Checking your 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.

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