Which NEAR network should I select when swapping NEAR to BTC?

NEAR is supported on both the native NEAR network and BNB Smart Chain. You must select the network that matches where your NEAR tokens are held. Sending from the wrong network will cause the swap to fail or funds to be lost, so confirm your wallet's active network before proceeding.

Why do traders swap NEAR into BTC?

Bitcoin is widely used as a long-term store of value and is accepted across a broad range of platforms, making it a natural destination for users looking to consolidate holdings or exit a specific ecosystem. Swapping NEAR for BTC allows users to move from a smart-contract platform token into one of the most broadly supported assets in crypto without relying on a centralized exchange.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for NEAR to BTC?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of BTC you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your NEAR deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

How long does a NEAR to BTC exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your NEAR deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and BTC network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

Do I need an account to exchange NEAR for BTC?

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send NEAR from your own wallet and receive BTC at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.

Before you exchange NEAR to BTC

Send NEAR on

Receive BTC on

Bitcoin

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.

Rate, limits and fees

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.

After you create an order

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.

Delayed or incorrect deposit?

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.

Swapping NEAR for BTC is a common move for users looking to shift value from the NEAR ecosystem into Bitcoin's store-of-value network. Because NEAR is available on both the native NEAR network and BNB Smart Chain, choosing the correct send network before initiating the swap is essential. The receiving side settles on the Bitcoin network, which operates independently with its own confirmation process.

How to swap NEAR for BTC

1
Open the exchange widget and select NEAR as the send currency and BTC as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of NEAR you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your BTC wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it.
4
Create the order, save its link and send NEAR to the deposit address using the network, amount and deadline shown. Receiving BTC requires deposit confirmation, exchange processing and the outgoing transfer.

Before exchanging NEAR → BTC

Before confirming this swap, verify which NEAR network you are sending from — native NEAR or BNB Smart Chain — and make sure your sending wallet is set to match. The two networks are not interchangeable, and selecting the wrong one can result in failed or unrecoverable transactions. On the receive side, double-check that your Bitcoin address is a valid BTC address on the Bitcoin network; there is no memo or destination tag required for either asset on this route. Bitcoin confirmations can vary depending on network activity, so allow time for the transaction to settle before assuming an issue. Review all details on the confirmation screen before submitting, as swaps cannot be reversed once broadcast.
