ATOM to BTC: questions and answers

How do I swap ATOM to BTC without KYC?

Enter the ATOM amount on this page, paste your BTC address and send your ATOM to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The BTC is paid directly to your wallet.

What is the ATOM to BTC exchange rate?

The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current ATOM to BTC rate for the amount you enter.

What are the minimum and maximum for ATOM to BTC?

The minimum is about 2.2 ATOM and the maximum about 687,000 ATOM. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.

How long does a ATOM to BTC swap take?

Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your ATOM deposit to confirm on Cosmos Hub, which takes under a minute. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.

Is swapping ATOM to BTC anonymous?

AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Cosmos Hub and Bitcoin are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.

Which BTC address should I use?

Your BTC is paid on Bitcoin. Use an address that starts with bc1, 1 or 3. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.

What fees are included in the ATOM to BTC rate?

Everything. The exchange's spread, the Bitcoin network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Cosmos Hub network fee to send the deposit.

Can I swap BTC back to ATOM?

Yes. The reverse direction, BTC to ATOM, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
