How the swap works
-
Enter the ETH amount and your Bitcoin payout address on Bitcoin mainnet.
-
Confirm to open the live quote and the deposit address for this PrivSwap session.
-
Send ETH to that deposit. After the required confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- ETH deposits usually clear within a few ~12s blocks.
- Gas spikes raise cost; inclusion is usually still quick on mainnet.
- Send ETH only on the rail the order lists — mainnet is not BSC, Base, or another L2 by default.
- If BTC is not visible yet, wait a few minutes and resync the wallet. When the order already lists a payout tx, message support with your Exchange ID.
Ethereum — L1 settlement for privacy routes
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet gas and settlement. On PrivSwap it is a privacy-first send/receive rail — always match mainnet vs L2 on the order badge.
Match the ETH rail on the order
Use a wallet on the chain printed on the PrivSwap order. Off-rail sends may not credit.
Keep extra ETH for gas beyond the swap amount.
Bitcoin — privacy-wallet liquidity hub
Bitcoin remains the deepest funding asset for anonymous NO-KYC routes on PrivSwap — liquid, widely held, and a common first leg into XMR, ETH, and stables.
When is payout BTC spendable?
Spendability follows the confirmations listed on the PrivSwap order — often one or more blocks, depending on the route.
Verify a BTC payout
- From the PrivSwap order, copy the payout tx hash into a Bitcoin explorer.
- Confirm the destination matches your wallet character-for-character, including format.
- Most self-custody wallets show BTC after one confirmation; some custodial venues wait longer.

Privacy swap FAQ
Does ETH to BTC require KYC or an account?
No. PrivSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Ethereum to Bitcoin.
How long until BTC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Ethereum mainnet deposit confirmations and Bitcoin mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ETH or BTC for me?
No. You send ETH from a wallet you control and BTC is paid to the address you provide — PrivSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send ETH on the wrong chain?
Use Ethereum mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
