On this page
Ethereum
Native ETH to BTC only, with source recovery and outbound or refund tracking.
Open THORChain →Browse networks & routes →- 01
Connect both wallets
Use Ethereum and a supported UniSat Bitcoin mainnet P2WPKH receiving account.
- 02
Inspect the route
Check independent node agreement, trading status, fees and minimum native BTC received.
- 03
Deposit ETH
Review the current vault and BTC recipient. Sign while the route is current.
- 04
Follow the outbound
Source finality precedes BTC delivery. Bitpont verifies the matching outbound and six canonical confirmations.
Read the units before entering an amount
Enter ETH with at most eight decimals; minimum output is native BTC.
Check the result
Node disagreement blocks new execution. An ETH refund needs finalized payment evidence; keep unresolved records.
Troubleshooting
- The market or quote is unavailable
- Refresh the current state. Confirm the network and exact contract. A saved reference is not proof of live liquidity or provider availability.
- Approval succeeded but the action did not
- Approval only sets a spending permission. Return to the action form for a fresh review, then verify the separate execution transaction.
- I closed the wallet or changed devices
- Reconnect the same owning wallet and network. Inspect Activity & recovery or import the supported transaction or order identifier before repeating a submission.
