About Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency, secured by proof-of-work mining and a hard cap of 21 million coins. People hold BTC, send it directly between wallets, and use it to transfer value on the Bitcoin network.
BTC has a fixed supply cap and can be held directly in wallets you control.
Only 21 million coins will ever exist, enforced by code rather than central policy.
Send value anywhere with an internet connection, without banks or business hours.
Hold keys in your own wallet and control access without a trusted intermediary.

FAQs about Bitcoin
What makes native BTC different from wrapped Bitcoin?
Native BTC lives on the Bitcoin blockchain and works in standard Bitcoin wallets. Wrapped versions such as WBTC are tokens on other networks with different contracts and redemption rules.
Which Bitcoin address formats are supported?
Legacy, SegWit, and Taproot mainnet address formats are accepted when they follow standard Bitcoin conventions.
Can I swap ETH or stablecoins directly to BTC?
Yes. Supported routes can deliver native BTC on the Bitcoin network from major assets without a separate bridge workflow.
What are Bitcoin confirmations?
Bitcoin transactions are included in blocks and gain additional security as more blocks are added. Services may wait for multiple confirmations before treating a payment as final.
What is the difference between SegWit and Taproot addresses?
SegWit (bc1q) and Taproot (bc1p) are newer Bitcoin address formats with lower fees and improved privacy compared to legacy formats. Any valid mainnet address you control can be used.
Can I send BTC from a hardware wallet?
Yes. Hardware wallets such as Ledger and Trezor can hold native BTC and sign Bitcoin mainnet transactions from addresses you control.
