Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ETH amount and paste your Bitcoin payout address on Bitcoin mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ETH to that deposit. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Ethereum deposits confirm quickly — usually within a few blocks (~12s each).
- During gas spikes, confirmation cost rises but inclusion remains fast.
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet only — not BSC, Base, or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- 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 — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
Sending ETH to the right network
Use an Ethereum mainnet wallet for deposits. L2 or alternate-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
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. Ethereum mainnet 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 (Ethereum mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
