Fixed rate or floating rate for BTC → SOL?

Fixed rate

The SOL amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your BTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote as long as you send on time and within the quoted limits. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.

Floating rate

The swap executes at the market rate when your BTC deposit lands. It can pay out more SOL than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.

What to check before swapping BTC to SOL

BTC to SOL is a cross-chain swap: native BTC in, native SOL out. Check your Bitcoin fee, your Solana address and the quote type before sending.

Use a Solana address
Enter a Solana wallet address you control (base58, not 0x). An Ethereum or exchange-memo address will not receive native SOL.
Set a sensible miner fee
Providers wait for Bitcoin confirmations before paying out. Choose a fee that confirms in a reasonable time, especially on a fixed-rate quote with a deposit window.
Compare the SOL payout
Judge quotes by the estimated SOL received and whether the rate is fixed or floating.

Network fees explained

Sending BTC

Your Bitcoin wallet sets the miner fee when it sends BTC to the deposit address. The swap generally proceeds only after the provider sees the confirmations it requires, so a very low fee can slow the start.

Receiving SOL

The provider pays the Solana payout transaction. Solana transactions are inexpensive, but keep some SOL in the wallet if you plan to use tokens or apps afterwards.

Best wallets for SOL

  • Phantom. Popular Solana wallet for apps and tokens.
  • Solflare. Solana wallet with built-in staking.
  • Backpack. Solana wallet with app integrations.
  • Ledger + Phantom. Hardware-backed signing for larger SOL balances.
