How this swap works
1
Choose BTC on Bitcoin as the asset you send and XLM on Stellar as the asset you receive.
2
Enter the XLM receiving address before creating the shift so settlement has a defined destination.
3
Create the shift, then send BTC within the allowed deposit range shown on the shift page.
4
Track the route until XLM settlement is completed on the dedicated status screen.
Route-specific notes
This route is oriented toward entering the XLM ecosystem, so destination wallet readiness matters before the shift is created.
Bitcoin confirmation timing can affect when the route begins processing.
Some routes can require memo-style destination details depending on the asset and receiving wallet, so the final instructions on the shift page should be checked carefully before sending funds.

Pair FAQ
Why move BTC to XLM instead of using a custodial exchange?
This route is useful when the user wants to move Bitcoin value into another blockchain ecosystem while keeping the flow non-custodial from start to finish.
What is the minimum BTC to XLM swap amount?
The minimum is provider-driven and route-specific. Always use the live builder and the shift page as the final source of truth before sending funds.
How long does BTC to XLM usually take?
BTC routes on Bitcoin depend on deposit detection and Bitcoin confirmation time before settlement can complete.
What happens if I send less than the BTC minimum?
Deposits below the allowed range can fail to settle normally and may require provider-side handling, so the live deposit rule should always be checked before sending.
Do I need any extra destination details before swapping BTC to XLM?
Some assets and wallets require memo-style destination details, so the final shift instructions should always be checked before you send funds.
Do I need a XLM wallet before swapping BTC to XLM?
Yes. You should have a compatible XLM receiving address on Stellar before you create the shift, because settlement is sent to the exact destination you provide.
Route disclaimer
Rates, minimums, and maximums are provider-driven and can change before the shift is created.
Always verify the deposit instructions on the shift page before sending funds.
The selected receiving network must match the destination wallet and asset route.
