BTC to DAI: questions and answers
How do I swap BTC to DAI without KYC?
Enter the BTC amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your DAI 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 DAI is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the BTC to DAI exchange rate?
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current BTC to DAI rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for BTC to DAI?
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 DAI swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. 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 DAI 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 Ethereum 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 DAI address should I use?
Your DAI is paid on Ethereum. Use an address that starts with 0x and is 42 characters long. 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 DAI rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Ethereum 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 DAI back to BTC?
Yes. The reverse direction, DAI 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.
