SOL to BTC (Lightning): questions and answers
How do I swap SOL to BTC (Lightning) without KYC?
Enter the SOL amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your BTC address and send your SOL 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 BTC is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the SOL to BTC (Lightning) exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 SOL ≈ 0.00112 BTC (the best of 2 offers for 2.5 SOL). 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 SOL to BTC (Lightning)?
The minimum is about 0.0378 SOL and the maximum about 11,800 SOL. 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 SOL to BTC (Lightning) swap take?
Usually around 7 min. Most of that is waiting for your SOL deposit to confirm on Solana, which takes usually under a minute. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping SOL to BTC (Lightning) anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Solana and Lightning Network 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 BTC address should I use?
Your BTC is paid on Lightning Network. Use an address that is a Lightning invoice (lnbc...). 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 SOL to BTC (Lightning) rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Lightning Network 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 Solana network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap BTC (Lightning) back to SOL?
Yes. The reverse direction, BTC (Lightning) to SOL, 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.
