Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the CELO amount and paste your Bitcoin payout address on Bitcoin mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send CELO to that deposit. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on Celo mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only CELO on Celo mainnet to the address on your order page.
- 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.
Celo
Always match CELO on Celo mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Celo mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
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 CELO for BTC?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Celo → Bitcoin.
How long is a CELO → BTC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Celo mainnet and Bitcoin mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody CELO or BTC?
No. You send CELO 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 CELO network?
Match the network printed on the order (Celo mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
