Swap Lightning to cirBTC

Pay one invoice, receive cirBTC.

Paying from Lightning is the quickest way into cirBTC. You get an invoice, your wallet pays it, and the swap moves on immediately without waiting for Bitcoin confirmations.

The invoice is for an exact amount, so what you pay is what the quote showed.

You do not need ETH in the receiving wallet. The claim is relayed for you.

  2. 2Pay the Lightning invoice we show you.
  3. 3We lock the matching tBTC in the swap contract on Ethereum.
  4. 4The claim converts it to cirBTC and sends it to your address.

Questions

How long does a Lightning swap take?
The payment itself is instant. The cirBTC usually follows within a few minutes on Ethereum.
What if I pay after the invoice expires?
An expired invoice cannot be paid, so nothing leaves your wallet. Start a new swap for a fresh one.
What if the swap fails after I paid?
A Lightning payment that cannot complete is reversed, and the sats return to your wallet automatically.
