As Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to converge, moving your Bitcoin into the Ethereum ecosystem should feel simple and predictable.

This is a easy tutorial for how to get started.

What You’ll Need

  • A crypto wallet to send BTC from
  • An Ethereum address to receive ETH

BitcoinBridge routes liquidity just-in-time. You send BTC from your wallet; we match liquidity and deliver ETH to your destination address on the Ethereum mainnet.

🟣 Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

Head to swap.bitcoinbridge.app click Connect Wallet. Our interface supports MetaMask, WalletConnect and over 470 other commonly used crypto wallets.

No signups, no KYC. Just connect and get started.

🟣 Step 2: Choose Your Asset and Amount

The bridge screen allows you to choose the origin and destination chains.

On the swap panel, set:

  • From: Bitcoin (BTC)
  • To: Ethereum (ETH)

You’ll see your current Bitcoin balance and can input the amount you wish to bridge.

Optionally, toggle “Max” to move your full BTC balance.

🟣 Step 3: Enter Your Destination Wallet Address

Paste the EVM-compatible wallet address where you want to receive your ETH. This can be MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any other wallet of your choosing.

Ensure that you double-check your wallet address as funds sent to the wrong address cannot be recovered.

BitcoinBridge will now generate a unique transfer address.

Copy the address and head back to the wallet that holds your Bitcoin.

🟣 Step 4: Transfer The Amount to be Bridged

From your Bitcoin wallet, proceed to send the exact transaction amount to the copied address.

BitcoinBridge supports multiple chains so Bitcoin can move across DeFi with deep liquidity and fees as low as 0.1%.

Confirm the transaction on either your hot or cold wallet, as prompted.
