Swap cirBTC to Lightning

Paste an invoice or Lightning address. Paid in seconds.

Lightning is the fastest way from cirBTC to spendable bitcoin. You paste a BOLT11 invoice or a Lightning address, send your cirBTC on Ethereum, and the payment arrives in seconds once the deposit confirms.

There is no claim step for Lightning payouts: paying your invoice is the final action, so nothing is left for you to do afterwards.

Your cirBTC is traded for tBTC on a decentralized exchange in the same transaction that locks it. The rate stays close to 1:1 and is shown on the card, together with the fees, before you commit.

How it works

  1. 1Enter an amount and paste a Lightning invoice or address.
  2. 2Your cirBTC is converted to tBTC and locked in the swap contract on Ethereum.
  3. 3We pay your invoice over Lightning.
  4. 4The payment settles in seconds. Nothing left to claim.

Questions

Can I use a Lightning address instead of an invoice?
Yes. An address like you@wallet.com works, and so does an LNURL. We request an invoice for the exact amount when the swap starts.
How small can a swap be?
The card shows the current minimum and maximum with your quote.
What if my invoice expires before I pay?
Nothing is lost. If the funds were already locked, they are refunded to you on Ethereum as tBTC.
