Swap tokens for native Bitcoin

You hold a token on an EVM chain and want native Bitcoin. Gateway swaps it and sends BTC to any Bitcoin address you nominate.

1. Connect your wallet

   Connect any of the 500+ supported EVM wallets.

   A Bitcoin wallet connection is optional here. Connect one and Gateway fills in your receiving address automatically. If you'd rather not, paste the Bitcoin address you want the BTC sent to — every standard address type is accepted (Legacy, SegWit, Native SegWit and Taproot).

   It doesn't have to be a browser wallet. A hardware wallet address works just as well, as does a centralised exchange deposit address.

2. Set up the swap

   Pick the token you want to swap and the chain it's on. The token picker shows exactly what's live on the route you've selected.

3. Review and swap

   Enter the amount and confirm the recipient Bitcoin address. Check the quote — output amount, fees and estimated time are all shown before you commit.

   Then sign in your wallet. This takes two separate signatures: one to approve the token, one for the swap itself.

4. Track your order

   Open the wallet modal at the top right to follow progress and find your Order ID.

   For a detailed view, look the Order ID up in the Gateway Explorer — it shows live status, amounts and transaction hashes on both sides, and the link is shareable.

5. Receive your BTC

   Once the swap settles, the BTC lands at your address. Most orders complete in around 10 minutes, though this varies with Bitcoin block times.
