How to swap BTC to SOL
- Open Shieldz Swap and choose BTC as the coin you pay and SOL as the coin you get.
- Enter an amount. Chainflip and NEAR Intents quote it at the same moment, with the amount you receive and the time it takes.
- Paste the Solana address you want to receive at, or connect a Solana wallet and pick one.
- Review the minimum you receive and the fees, then send from Ledger, Trezor, Keystone and MetaMask. Shieldz tracks the swap until it lands.
What it costs
On this quote, $1,005 of BTC became $1,008 of SOL: about $-2.37, or -0.24%, for everything taken out on the way. That includes the 0.15% Shieldz fee, the protocol's own fees and the gas to deliver to you. The network fee your wallet pays to send is extra.
MetaMask's built-in swap charges 0.875% and Phantom's 0.85% before any of that. Compare on your own amount.
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.

BTC to SOL: common questions
How do I swap BTC to SOL?
Open Shieldz Swap with BTC as the coin you pay and SOL as the coin you get, enter an amount and paste the Solana address you want to receive at. Then send from Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, MetaMask and OKX Wallet. The protocol delivers SOL straight to your address.
How long does a BTC to SOL swap take?
The fastest route quoted today takes about 7 minutes. Bitcoin deposits need block confirmations, which sets most of the time. Every quote shows its expected time before you send.
How much does it cost?
On the $1,005 quote above, about $-2.37 (-0.24%) in total: the 0.15% Shieldz fee, the protocol's own fees and the gas to deliver to you, all already taken out of the amount shown. The network fee your wallet pays to send comes on top.
Is it safe? Do I need an account?
There is no account and no KYC. Shieldz never holds your funds or keys: you send BTC from your own wallet to a deposit address or contract of the protocol, and the protocol pays SOL to your address. If a swap cannot complete, it is refunded to the address you paid from.
Can I swap SOL to BTC too?
Yes. The reverse swap has its own page with live routes: SOL to BTC.
