Bitcoin to Avalanche
BTC to AVAX Bridge guide
Requirements
BTC on Bitcoin network (0.00125 Minimum)
When users bridge $75 or more of assets from Bitcoin network to the Avalanche network, a portion of AVAX will be airdropped to help pay for initial swaps.
Select the Bitcoin network in the Core wallet
From there, make sure 'Bridge' is selected.
The From network will be Bitcoin
After that, click the bridge Tokens button.
Briding takes at least 10 minutes from BTC, so it is recommened to pay above market gas prices or you may end up waiting a lot longer.
If you bridge over $75 worth, you'll also receive some AVAX in order to cover gas costs.
It is highly recommended you swap your newly bridged assets for at least 0.1 AVAX in order to pay for several transactions without worrying about gas.
The asset on Avalanche is called BTC.b and this represents native BTC. You can bridge BTC.b back to BTC using the same bridge at any time.
