Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the BTC amount and paste your Flare payout address on Flare mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send BTC to that deposit. After confirmations, FLR is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- One on-chain confirmation is usually enough before your payout leg starts.
- BTC confirmation time depends on mempool congestion and the fee you paid.
- SegWit deposit addresses keep fees lower. If your wallet cannot send to SegWit, contact support before sending.
- FLR not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
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.
Before you send BTC
- Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
- Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
- Send only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the address on your order page.
How long until Bitcoin confirms?
Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.
- Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
- Explorers show queue position — compare against pending transaction volume.
- Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.
Why traders move BTC to other chains
Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition — many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.
Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.
Flare
Always match FLR on Flare mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving FLR
Your wallet must be on Flare mainnet.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.

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