Exchanging Bitcoin for Ethereum is an exchange between different assets. Send your deposit to the order address, not to your receiving wallet. Confirm the destination network with your receiving wallet before creating the order.
Select the send and receive networks in the widget. Each must match the corresponding wallet or withdrawal platform. Availability can change and may differ between fixed and floating rates; the current quote determines whether your selection is supported.
Enter your amount to check the current rate, minimum, maximum (if any) and estimated receive amount. Compare what you receive, not just the headline rate. Your sending wallet may charge a separate network fee. Floating quotes can change; fixed quotes have an expiry and deposit conditions.
Save your order link. Send the requested asset and amount to the deposit address on the specified network, following the order deadline. A confirmed deposit still needs exchange processing and an outgoing transfer; completion time is not guaranteed.
Check the order status and your transaction in the network explorer. If the order expires, the amount is wrong or processing stalls, contact support with the order ID and transaction hash before sending more funds. Recovery or a refund depends on the case.

A step-by-step guide to exchanging BTC for ETH using Zest — no account required, funds go straight to your wallet.
Swapping BTC for ETH is one of the most common routes in crypto, often driven by users moving value from Bitcoin's proof-of-work store-of-value into Ethereum's smart-contract ecosystem to interact with DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, or onchain applications. Because Bitcoin settles on a single network while ETH is receivable across multiple chains, the destination network choice matters more on the ETH side of this swap. Zest shows you the rate before you confirm, with no account required.
Open the exchange widget and select BTC as the send currency and ETH as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
Enter the amount of BTC you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
Paste your ETH wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it. Select the network your wallet supports -- the receive network must match where your address lives.
Create the order, save its link and send BTC to the deposit address using the network, amount and deadline shown. Receiving ETH requires deposit confirmation, exchange processing and the outgoing transfer.
Before confirming your BTC → ETH swap, verify that you are sending BTC on the Bitcoin network — there is only one supported network for BTC, so no network selection is needed on the send side. On the receive side, ETH is available on Ethereum mainnet and several Layer 2 and alternative networks including Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, and BNB Smart Chain, among others — make sure your receiving wallet or platform supports the exact network you select, since ETH sent to the wrong network can be difficult or impossible to recover. Neither BTC nor ETH requires a memo or destination tag on this route, so no extra identifier is needed. Bitcoin transactions require on-chain confirmations before a swap can proceed, and the time to reach sufficient confirmations can vary with network congestion. Double-check your ETH receiving address and selected network carefully before submitting — the swap is non-custodial and irreversible once broadcast.
