Before you swap
Swaps settle in native BTC at your own Bitcoin address, not a wrapped token. Routes that wait for Bitcoin confirmations take longer than EVM ones.
Shieldz charges 0.15% per swap. MetaMask's built-in swap charges 0.875% and Phantom's 0.85%, so on $1,000 that is $1.50 here against about $8.75. Compare on your own amount.

Swapping Bitcoin: common questions
How do I swap to Bitcoin?
Open Shieldz Swap, pick the coin you have and BTC as the coin you want, then paste a Bitcoin address you control. Shieldz shows a quote from each protocol, and you sign the deposit in your own wallet.
Which Bitcoin tokens can I swap?
Right now: BTC and BTC(OMNI). The list comes from the router's live catalogue and grows as the protocols add assets.
How long does a swap to or from Bitcoin take?
The fastest route quoted today takes about 7 minutes. Times depend on the route and on confirmations on the chain you send from.
What does it cost?
Shieldz charges 0.15% on every swap. On top of that you pay the network fee on the chain you send from and the swap protocol's own pricing, which is already included in the quote. Wallet swap features typically charge 0.25% to 1%.
Which wallets can I use with Bitcoin?
To pay from Bitcoin: Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, MetaMask and OKX Wallet. To receive on Bitcoin, paste any Bitcoin address you control.
Is it safe? Do I need an account?
There is no account and no sign-up. Shieldz never holds your funds or keys: you sign every swap in your own wallet, and the protocol sends the result straight to your address.
