Exchange in 3 steps (ETH → BTC)
What you need to know (verified basics)
- Ethereum block time: Ethereum typically produces blocks around ~12 seconds, but confirmation speed depends on fees and network load.
- Bitcoin block time: Bitcoin produces blocks around ~10 minutes on average, so confirmations can take longer during congestion.
- Confirmations vary: Required confirmations can differ by swap flow and risk settings. Always follow what your order screen shows.
- Fees: you pay the Ethereum network fee (gas) when sending ETH, and the Bitcoin network fee impacts how quickly your BTC transaction confirms.
Realistic timing: how long does ETH → BTC take?
Most swaps complete after (1) your ETH deposit is confirmed and (2) the outgoing BTC transaction is broadcast and confirmed. Delays usually happen when Ethereum gas is low (slow inclusion) or when Bitcoin mempool is congested (slower confirmations).
- ETH deposit: confirmation time depends on gas fee and network load.
- BTC delivery: you’ll typically see BTC quickly after broadcast, while stronger finality comes with additional confirmations.
Rate & fee checklist (so you don’t overpay)
The only “real” number for your swap is the final quote shown before you confirm. Use this checklist for a high-quality swap:
| What to check | Why it matters | Best practice |
|---|---|---|
| Final ETH→BTC quote | Determines how much BTC you receive | Confirm right before sending |
| All-in fees | Fees reduce final amount | ETH gas + BTC network fee impact |
| Confirmation requirements | Impacts total completion time | Follow the order screen |
| Correct BTC address | Prevents loss | Copy/paste + verify characters |
