BTC to ATOM: questions and answers
How do I swap BTC to ATOM without KYC?
Enter the BTC amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your ATOM address and send your BTC to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ATOM is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the BTC to ATOM exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 BTC ≈ 52,170.4 ATOM (the best of 15 offers for 0.005 BTC). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
What are the minimum and maximum for BTC to ATOM?
The minimum is about 0.000064 BTC and the maximum about 20 BTC. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a BTC to ATOM swap take?
Usually around 10 min. Most of that is waiting for your BTC deposit to confirm on Bitcoin, which takes about 10-30 minutes (1-2 confirmations). There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping BTC to ATOM anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Bitcoin and Cosmos Hub are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which ATOM address should I use?
Your ATOM is paid on Cosmos Hub. Use an address that starts with cosmos1. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the BTC to ATOM rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Cosmos Hub network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Bitcoin network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap ATOM back to BTC?
Yes. The reverse direction, ATOM to BTC, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
