What to know about Bitcoin and Ethereum

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency. It was described in a 2008 white paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto and launched in January 2009. Bitcoin has no issuer or central operator: the rules are enforced by thousands of independent nodes, and the supply is capped at 21 million coins.

Sending and receiving BTC

Bitcoin addresses start with 1, 3 or bc1. The fee depends on how busy the network is, not on the amount you send, so wallets let you pick a faster or cheaper fee. A payment is usually treated as final after several confirmations; each new block adds one, so a transfer takes from about 10 minutes to an hour.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is a programmable blockchain proposed by Vitalik Buterin and launched in 2015. Its native coin, ETH, pays for computation on the network. Thousands of tokens, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols and NFT collections run on Ethereum.

What Ethereum is used for

ETH is used to pay gas fees, as collateral in DeFi, for staking and as a settlement asset across the ecosystem. Layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum and Optimism also use ETH for fees, which makes it the working currency of a large part of the crypto economy.

How to exchange Bitcoin to Ethereum

Enter the BTC amount in the calculator (minimum 0.003 BTC) and click “Go to exchange”.
Enter your ETH wallet address on the Ethereum network and your contact details.
Send exactly the specified amount of BTC on the Bitcoin network to the details shown in the order.
Once the transfer is confirmed, Ethereum is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.

Exchange BTC to ETH

What to check before exchanging BTC to ETH

The recipient address must be on the Ethereum network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
The amount sent must be at least 0.003 BTC.
Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
Addresses on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon look the same (0x…): make sure the wallet shows Ethereum as the network.
Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
