Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the AVAX amount and paste your Bitcoin payout address on Bitcoin mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send AVAX to that deposit. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Avalanche C-Chain confirmations are typically very fast — often under a minute.
- Send AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain only — not X-Chain or P-Chain unless your order specifies them.
- Use a C-Chain compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough AVAX for gas.
- BTC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Use an Avalanche C-Chain wallet for deposits. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses are not interchangeable with C-Chain.
Leave enough AVAX in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Bitcoin — the original digital asset
Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.
When is my BTC spendable?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
Checking your BTC payout
- Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
- Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
- Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade AVAX for BTC?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Avalanche → Bitcoin.
How long is a AVAX → BTC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Avalanche C-Chain and Bitcoin mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody AVAX or BTC?
No. You send AVAX yourself and BTC is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong AVAX network?
Match the network printed on the order (Avalanche C-Chain). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
