Common Questions About Swapping BTC to USDT
Can I send BTC directly from a crypto exchange?
Yes. The exchange must support BTC withdrawals on Bitcoin. Select Bitcoin as the withdrawal network and send the funds to the deposit address generated for the swap.
What happens after I send BTC to the deposit address?
The swap waits for the required Bitcoin confirmations before it continues. Standard BTC routes need 2 confirmations; Boost can reduce that to 1 when available.
What receiving address should I enter for USDT?
Enter an address that supports USDT on Polkadot. This is where the USDT from the swap will be sent.
Do I need a Bitcoin refund address?
Yes. Enter a Bitcoin address you control so funds can be returned if the swap is eligible for a refund.
How do I know when the swap is complete?
The swap status will show when the exchange is complete. Once the destination asset has been sent, you can also view the transaction directly on the destination blockchain explorer.
