You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect, no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until a swap is opened.

The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. rabbitechnology.xyz never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.

Why does a swap site ask for a refund address before you send any BTC

A swap site asks for a refund address before you send Bitcoin because Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. If something goes wrong - an address mismatch, a network delay, or a failed conversion - the only way to return your funds is to know where to send them.

How do you know a swap is atomic and not just a promise from the site

You know a swap is atomic because the smart contract or protocol enforces the exchange in a single irreversible step, and neither party can steal funds by backing out. If the swap completes, both sides settle; if it fails, both sides get their original assets back. The site canno

How do you swap BTC for a token on a chain Bitcoin does not touch

The short answer: you cannot swap BTC directly for a token on a separate chain. You must first convert your Bitcoin into a representation of Bitcoin on that chain - a wrapped or bridged version - and then use that representation to trade for the token you want.

How Bitcoin swaps differ from altcoin swaps

Bitcoin is not just another token. When you swap BTC for something else, or bring funds back, the mechanics are fundamentally different from an ERC-20 or BEP-20 trade. The difference is not in the interface - it is in the chain itself. Understanding those differences is the diffe

How to convert crypto: on-chain vs off-chain

Off-chain (on an exchange)

Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing touches the blockchain until you withdraw.

  • Cheapest and fastest for common pairs
  • Needs an account and usually ID verification
  • The exchange holds the coins until you withdraw them
  • Best for converting to and from cash

On-chain (a DEX or swap)

You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the chain and you pay its fee.

  • No account, no custodian — you keep the keys
  • You pay network fees, which vary a lot by chain
  • Small or new tokens often only trade here
  • Slippage and thin liquidity are real costs on low-volume pairs
Before any on-chain swap: check the token's contract address against a block explorer, start with a small test amount, and review what you are approving — an unlimited token approval to an unknown contract is how most wallet drains actually happen.
