The deposit
Send BTC only on the Bitcoin network, to the address shown for this quote. A Bitcoin fee spike can delay the first confirmation; paying a normal network fee keeps the swap close to the quoted time.

Swap BTC to SOL — native, no account
Convert bitcoin to Solana in a single step. You send native BTC to a one-time deposit address and receive SOL in your Solana wallet, with no wrapped token in between and no exchange account. Live quotes show what each protocol pays out after fees, so this also works as a BTC to SOL converter with real, executable numbers.

Who can execute this swap
NEAR Intents, Chainflip and Flashnet can each quote BTC to SOL. Which of them responds at a given moment depends on liquidity; the swap box lists every protocol that does, ranked by what you receive after fees.
NEAR Intents
Typically about 30 min
Solvers compete to fill your swap at the best price.
Held briefly by the intents deposit service until a solver fills the order.

Decentralised cross-chain AMM for native assets.
Held briefly in validator-run vaults (threshold signatures) while the swap settles.

About this route
What BTC to SOL actually does
This route takes native BTC on Bitcoin and delivers native SOL on Solana. Without a cross-chain swap, the usual path is BTC to an exchange, a trade, and a SOL withdrawal — or wrapping BTC and bridging the token. This route replaces both with one deposit.
Bitcoin and Solana use completely different address formats and transaction models, which is why this pair cannot be moved with a simple token bridge. A protocol holding liquidity on both networks accepts your BTC and pays SOL from its Solana side. The SOL arrives seconds after settlement; the wait is almost entirely Bitcoin confirmations.

- Bitcoin (BTC) on Bitcoin, the network's native asset

- Solana (SOL) on Solana, the network's native asset
- Receiving address
- A base58 public key of 32–44 characters with no 0x prefix. An Ethereum-style address is never a valid Solana destination.
- Refund address
- A Bitcoin address you control. Refunds are paid in BTC.
- Deposit confirmation
- Bitcoin deposits wait for block confirmations: about 10–12 minutes on Chainflip, about 10 minutes on Flashnet and around 30 minutes on NEAR Intents.
- Fees
- Included in the quote: network, protocol and TorrentSwap fees. What you see is what you should receive.
Before you send
Three checks that prevent most mistakes
The receiving address
The destination must be a Solana address: base58, 32–44 characters, no 0x. If the SOL is going to an exchange, confirm the exchange credits SOL on the Solana network without a memo.
The refund address
The refund address must be a Bitcoin address you control. A refund returns BTC, never SOL, so a Solana address cannot be used for it.
Support will never ask for a seed phrase or private key. TorrentSwap only ever needs public addresses.
FAQ
BTC to SOL: common questions
Related guides
Do I need SOL in my wallet to receive?
No. Receiving SOL does not require an existing balance, and a brand-new Solana address becomes active when the SOL arrives.
Is this the same as buying wrapped bitcoin on Solana?
No. You end up holding SOL, not a bitcoin token on Solana. Your BTC is sold at the quoted price, so you no longer have bitcoin exposure after the swap.
Can I receive USDC on Solana instead of SOL?
Yes. Pick USDC on Solana as the destination. That payout is an SPL token, so you will need a little SOL later to move it.
How long does BTC to SOL take?
Typically about 10–30 min from sending your deposit to the payout. NEAR Intents: about 30 min; Chainflip: about 10–12 min; Flashnet: about 10 min. The time is driven mostly by how long Bitcoin takes to confirm the deposit, and each live quote shows that protocol's own estimate.
What fees do I pay to swap BTC to SOL?
The platform fee, the executing protocol's fee and network fees are all already included in every quote, so the amount you see is what you should receive, and a protected minimum applies: if a protocol cannot deliver at least that, it refunds your deposit instead. Your own wallet charges the normal network fee to send the deposit.
Do I need an account or KYC to swap BTC to SOL?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and no email to give — you only enter the receiving address and a refund address. The protocols that execute swaps can apply their own compliance screening, for example against sanctioned addresses.
What happens if the swap cannot complete?
If a protocol cannot fill your swap within the protected minimum, it refunds the deposit to your refund address. The refund address must be a Bitcoin address you control. A refund returns BTC, never SOL, so a Solana address cannot be used for it.
