Bitcoin to Ethereum Exchange Rates
Bitcoin uses SHA-256 proof of work with a 600-second target block interval, so this route's 2-confirmation requirement implies an expected 20 minutes. Ethereum uses proof of stake with 12-second slots, so 12 confirmations imply a nominal 144 seconds; ETH is native ether, and ERC-20 is a token standard, not a network.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does BTC to ETH take?
Assuming sequential deposit and payout, the confirmation-based estimate is (2 x 600 s) + (12 x 12 s) = 1,344 s, or 22 min 24 s. The supplied typical settlement windows sum to 20-35 min: 15-25 min for BTC plus 5-10 min for Ethereum, excluding additional routing delays. Actual timing varies with transaction inclusion, Bitcoin block variance and missed Ethereum slots; 12 Ethereum confirmations do not guarantee protocol finality.
What network fees apply to this swap?
The BTC deposit sender pays a fee in BTC based on transaction virtual size (vbytes) x fee rate (sat/vB), not a percentage of the transferred value. The Ethereum payout sender pays gas in ETH, calculated as gas used x (base fee per gas + effective priority fee per gas); a plain native-ETH transfer typically uses 21,000 gas, while ERC-20 transfers require token-contract execution. Fee rates vary with network demand, and payout-fee deductions or separate routing/service charges depend on the provider's quote.
