Most BTC to HNT swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin, then the HNT is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 BTC in HNT? 1 BTC is worth about 168,678.58 HNT at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 4 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the HNT network fee. The rate floats with the market until your BTC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BTC to HNT? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Solana address that should receive the HNT, send BTC from your own wallet, and the HNT goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin to Helium? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the HNT amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Bitcoin network fee for your deposit is paid in BTC by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive HNT? To receive Helium from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana network before starting the exchange. Double-check your HNT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the HNT address? Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending HNT to an address on another network can lose the coins. ### Can I track my BTC to HNT swap? Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your BTC payment on mempool.space (https://mempool.space) and your incoming HNT on Solscan (https://solscan.io). ### Is it safe to exchange BTC for HNT on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC deposit is converted and the HNT is sent straight to the Solana address you enter, so check that address twice — Solana transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain BTC to HNT swap work? Bitcoin lives on Bitcoin and Helium on Solana, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BTC on Bitcoin and pays native HNT on Solana, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my BTC to HNT exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the BTC is refunded to the Bitcoin address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: HNT to BTC](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/hnt-btc/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/hnt-btc.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
