How to convert SOL to BTC (step‑by‑step)

1. Open Swapcherry and select SOL → BTC.
2. Paste your BTC address and choose quote type (fixed or floating).
3. Review the quote (rate, fees, expected BTC).
4. Confirm to get a one‑time SOL deposit address.
5. Send the exact amount of SOL within the time window.
6. After confirmations, receive BTC automatically to your wallet.

Bitcoin address types (compatibility and privacy)

Choose an address you control and understand. Common types:

Recommendation: Use bech32 (bc1…) if your wallet supports it.

Fees, confirmations, and timing (plain‑English)

• Fees: You’ll see service + network fees before sending. Bitcoin miner fees vary with mempool congestion.
• Confirmations: Your payout triggers after the required confirmations on Solana, then BTC is sent to your address. BTC arrival time depends on its own mempool/fee environment.
• Timing: In normal conditions, SOL confirms quickly; the BTC leg completes shortly after it’s broadcast and mined.

Fixed vs floating rate: which to pick?

• Fixed: Locks a rate for a short window. Great when you need a specific BTC amount. Send within the timer; late sends may need a new quote.
• Floating: Executes at market at the time of swap. Fewer timing constraints, but the final BTC amount may vary slightly.

Practical privacy: reduce linkability

• Use a fresh BTC address for each swap; avoid reusing addresses.
• Don’t send directly to a publicly linked address (e.g., an ENS‑doxxed wallet on other chains).
• If moving BTC to an exchange later, that exchange may associate the deposit with your account.
• For large amounts, consider splitting into multiple swaps spaced out over time.
• Keep SOL on hand for fees; failed/partial transactions can create extra on‑chain footprints.

Paying the invoice: exact, partial, overpayments

• Exact amount (best): Send exactly what the quote specifies for the smoothest experience.
• Underpayment: Small deviations may auto‑recalculate; larger ones can pause for manual review or refund.
• Overpayment: Excess may be refunded or adjusted in payout, depending on size and settings.

Provide your transaction hash if support is needed—it speeds up resolution.

Refunds and safety

• Refunds, when applicable, are typically returned on Solana to the originating address.
• Network fees are deducted; extreme volatility or risk signals can affect refund timing.
• Transactions are screened under our AML policy. In rare cases, an order can be paused or refunded. See also our privacy and terms.

Large swaps: best practices

• Start with a small test swap to validate address and timing.
• Split very large amounts across multiple swaps to reduce market and operational risk.
• Avoid peak congestion or major market announcements if timing certainty matters.

Troubleshooting

• BTC not received yet: Check your SOL transaction confirms; then track the BTC transaction in a block explorer. Mempool congestion can delay mining.
• Wrong amount sent: Contact support with your transaction hash. Small deltas may auto‑recalculate; large ones may require manual handling.
• Wrong address type: Most wallets support bc1…, 3…, and 1…. If your wallet rejects the payout, provide a compatible address and start a new order.
• Expired quote: Create a fresh quote and resend within the time window.

FAQ

Do I need KYC to swap SOL to BTC?
Not for standard swaps. We enforce AML rules; comply with your local laws.

How long does SOL → BTC take?
Typically shortly after SOL confirmations. BTC arrival depends on its fee environment and when your transaction gets mined.

What’s the cheapest way to swap SOL to BTC?
Use a modern bech32 address (bc1…), pick an appropriate quote type, and send the exact amount within the timer to avoid recalculations.

Can I convert SOL to BTC anonymously?
You can reduce linkability (fresh addresses, split amounts, avoid reuse), but blockchains are public—no solution is perfectly anonymous.

Can I send from an exchange wallet?
Yes, but exchanges sometimes batch or delay broadcasts. A self‑custody wallet offers more control over timing and fees.

Prefer USDT instead of BTC?
