About Bitcoin (BTC)
Layer-1 blockchain
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first and largest cryptocurrency — a decentralized digital money that lets anyone send value over the internet without a bank or middleman. Launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, it runs on a global, permissionless blockchain secured by proof-of-work mining.
How does Bitcoin work?
Transactions are grouped into blocks and confirmed by miners who compete to solve cryptographic puzzles, making the ledger extremely costly to tamper with. Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins, and roughly every four years a 'halving' cuts the rate of new issuance — a key driver behind its scarcity narrative.
What is Bitcoin used for?
BTC is held as a long-term store of value (often called 'digital gold'), used for global peer-to-peer payments, and treated as the benchmark asset of the entire crypto market. It trades 24/7 and is the most liquid cryptocurrency in existence.

How a BTC swap works
Enter the amount you want to exchange, pick the asset on the other side, and SwapRocket queries every connected exchange partner at once. You choose an offer, paste the wallet address that should receive the funds, and send BTC to the deposit address shown. The partner executes the trade and pays out to your address — SwapRocket never holds your coins, and there is no account to create before you start.
Choosing a rate for BTC
Three offers are presented for every BTC exchange. The best rate returns the largest amount for the size you entered. The fastest route favours the partner with the shortest expected settlement time, which matters when the market is moving. The fixed rate locks the quoted amount for the duration of the order, so what you are shown is what arrives, at the cost of a slightly smaller payout. Floating offers can move with the market between deposit and settlement.
Networks and addresses for BTC
Bitcoin settles on BTC. Always send from and to an address on that network: a deposit sent over a different chain cannot be recovered by the exchange partner. When an asset exists on several chains, pick the matching network in the widget before copying the deposit address, and send a small test amount first if you are unsure.
