How this swap works
1
Choose BTC on Liquid as the asset you send and ETH on Base as the asset you receive.
2
Enter the ETH 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 ETH settlement is completed on the dedicated status screen.
Route-specific notes
This route is oriented toward entering the ETH ecosystem, so destination wallet readiness matters before the shift is created.
Make sure the receiving address is a native ETH-compatible address on Ethereum.

Pair FAQ
Why move BTC to ETH Base 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 ETH Base 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 ETH Base usually take?
Processing time depends on deposit detection, blockchain confirmations, route processing, and final settlement on Base.
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 a ETH wallet before swapping BTC to ETH Base?
Yes. You should have a compatible ETH receiving address on Base 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.
