NETWORK-AWARE SWAP GUIDE
Exchange BTC to ETH with Guarda
Quick answer: enter the BTC amount, compare the provider's final ETH quote, send only on Bitcoin, and verify that the receiving address supports Ethereum. Your recovery phrase is never an exchange input.
The live calculation uses CoinGecko spot-market references and is not an executable offer. The selected provider determines the spread, minimum, maximum, compliance checks and confirmation threshold.
Before swapping BTC to ETH
Check the sending side
Use the Bitcoin network and verify the first and last characters of the receiving address. Do not send BTC to a Lightning invoice unless the provider explicitly supports Lightning.
Check the receiving side
Confirm that both the provider and your wallet use Ethereum mainnet. Assets sent over an unsupported network may not appear without a manual recovery process.
Allow for settlement
Bitcoin settlement depends on miner fees and block confirmations. Ethereum settlement depends on gas conditions and provider confirmation rules.
What changes the BTC to ETH result?
The reference rate moves with both Bitcoin and Ethereum. The amount delivered can also change because of the provider spread, liquidity, the Bitcoin sending fee, the Ethereum receiving conditions and price movement before the order is locked.
BTC risk: Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. Network fees and confirmation times rise when block space is busy.
ETH risk: Ethereum gas fees change with network demand. Token approvals and smart-contract interactions introduce risks beyond a simple ETH transfer.

BTC to ETH — FAQ
Bitcoin settlement depends on miner fees and block confirmations. The receiving Ethereum must then reach the confirmation threshold shown by the provider, so there is no guaranteed fixed duration.
A self-custody wallet does not require a custodial exchange account. The integrated exchange provider can still request checks when required by risk controls or local rules.
Compare the provider spread, the sending-network fee and any receiving-network cost shown in the binding quote. The CoinGecko calculation on this page is only a market reference.
Send native BTC on Bitcoin and confirm that the destination accepts native ETH on Ethereum. Never choose a network only because the ticker looks familiar.
The exchange provider should issue an order or transaction identifier. Keep it until the ETH transfer reaches your wallet and verify the result on the appropriate block explorer.
