How to swap AVAX to BTC
Step 1
Enter the amount of AVAX
Choose AVAX and BTC on the swap card and type how much AVAX you want to send. The card shows how much BTC you get, with every swap fee already taken out.
Step 2
Check your offer
The card uses the offer that gives you the most BTC. “Other offers” lets you compare the partners. Then tap “Swap”.
Step 3
Add your BTC address
Paste the address of your BTC wallet on the Bitcoin network, with the memo if your exchange shows one. Check your swap and tap “Create swap”.
Step 4
Send your AVAX
Send exactly the amount shown, on the Avalanche C-Chain network, to the address the partner gives you. Add the memo if one is shown. Your BTC goes straight to your wallet.
