Three steps on Web3Swap
-
Enter the BTC size and paste the Polygon payout address for Polygon mainnet on this Web3Swap ticket.
-
Confirm Exchange to lock the live Web3Swap quote and reveal this ticket’s deposit details.
-
Broadcast exactly that BTC amount to the deposit. After Bitcoin mainnet confirms, MATIC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- One network confirmation is usually enough before Web3Swap starts the payout.
- BTC confirmation time follows mempool load and the fee attached to your send.
- SegWit deposits usually cost less. If your wallet cannot send to SegWit, message support before broadcasting the Web3Swap deposit.
- If MATIC is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the ticket. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — Web3Swap has no login that lists expired orders.
Bitcoin tickets on Web3Swap — keep the keys
Bitcoin is still the deepest funding rail. Web3Swap keeps you self-custodial end to end: check the quote, broadcast native BTC, then receive XMR, ETH, stables, or another indexed asset — never a hosted balance.
BTC deposit checklist
- Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
- Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
- Broadcast only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the deposit shown on your order.
How long does a BTC deposit take?
Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.
- Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
- Explorers show queue position — compare against pending transaction volume.
- Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.
Why traders move BTC to other chains
Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition — many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.
Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.
Polygon tickets — PoS rail, not Ethereum L1
MATIC/POL powers Polygon’s low-fee EVM environment. Web3Swap Polygon tickets reject Ethereum-mainnet assets — match the PoS badge before you broadcast.
MATIC not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Polygon PoS mainnet and fully synced.
MATIC payout tips
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and verify the receive address starts with 0x.
- Check Polygonscan with the payout tx hash if your balance has not updated.
- Do not expect MATIC on Ethereum — this route pays out on Polygon PoS.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

FAQ for this route
Do I need KYC or a Web3Swap login for BTC → MATIC?
No. A standard Bitcoin → Polygon ticket on Web3Swap skips signup and ID upload. You stay self-custodial on both legs.
How soon does MATIC usually arrive?
After the Bitcoin mainnet deposit is final, many payouts leave within minutes. Congestion on Bitcoin mainnet or Polygon mainnet can stretch that — mempools and fees set the clock, not a compliance hold.
Does Web3Swap custody my BTC or MATIC?
No. You broadcast BTC from a wallet you control; MATIC pays only to the address you paste. Nothing sits as a named Web3Swap balance.
What if I send BTC on the wrong rail?
Match Bitcoin mainnet exactly as printed on the Web3Swap ticket badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — verify before you broadcast.
