Bitcoin to Ethereum (Base) swap

Swap Bitcoin for Ethereum (Base) without creating a profile. PeakSwap never holds your keys. After BTC confirms on Bitcoin mainnet, ETH is delivered on Base mainnet. Most orders settle within minutes.

    How the swap works

    1. Type the BTC amount and paste your Ethereum (Base) payout address on Base mainnet.

    2. Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.

    3. Broadcast BTC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ETH is sent to your wallet.

    Check these before you send

    • A single network confirmation is typically enough to start the payout.
    • How long BTC takes to confirm tracks mempool load and the fee on your send.
    • SegWit deposit addresses keep fees lower. If your wallet cannot send to SegWit, contact support before you broadcast.
    • If ETH has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.

    Bitcoin β€” the base layer of crypto

    Since 2009 Bitcoin has been the reference asset β€” deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the usual starting point for cross-chain routes.

    BTC deposit checklist

    • Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
    • Leave enough for a network fee β€” low fees mean slower confirmation.
    • Broadcast only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the deposit shown on your order.

    How long does a BTC deposit take?

    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 β€” 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 β€” 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.

    You receive

    ETH on Base β€” Coinbase L2

    Native ETH on Base β€” Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.

    Base ETH not received?

    Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced β€” not Ethereum L1.

    Base ETH payout tips

    • Payouts go to Base β€” verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
    • Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
    • Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does BTC to ETH require KYC or an account?

    No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Bitcoin to Ethereum (Base).

    How long until ETH arrives?

    Many orders finish in a few minutes. Bitcoin mainnet deposit confirmations and Base mainnet payout time set the wait.

    Do you hold BTC or ETH for me?

    No. You send BTC from a wallet you control and ETH is paid to the address you provide β€” PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.

    What if I send BTC on the wrong chain?

    Use Bitcoin mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β€” read the swap safety notes first.
