It has been an SPL token on Solana since Helium's 2023 migration. HNT to BTC suits hotspot operators and other holders who want to move HNT into bitcoin held at an address they control. No account is needed. The HNT deposit is confirmed on Solana in under a minute. The BTC payout is then broadcast to the Bitcoin network, where blocks arrive about every 10 minutes on average, so your wallet may show the payment as unconfirmed for a while. That wait is normal and does not mean the swap has stalled. ### Tips - Bitcoin addresses start with bc1, 3 or 1. A fresh bc1 address from Sparrow, Electrum or a hardware wallet works well for the payout. - Send HNT from the Helium Wallet app, Phantom or another Solana wallet you control, and enter that Solana address as the refund address. - The HNT transfer fee is charged in SOL. If the wallet holds only HNT, add a small amount of SOL before you start. ### Can I swap HNT to BTC without verifying my identity? Yes. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID. Enter your Bitcoin address and your Solana refund address, check the floating rate and send the HNT. ### When can I spend the BTC? Most wallets let you spend it once it has one Bitcoin confirmation. Blocks average about 10 minutes, but the first confirmation can come sooner or take longer, and some services wait for more than one. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap HNT to BTC on GhostSwap? Most HNT to BTC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the HNT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana, then the BTC is sent to your wallet, and Bitcoin confirms the payout in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). ### How much is 1 HNT in BTC? 1 HNT is worth about 0.0000059135 BTC 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 BTC network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 60 HNT. The Solana network fee for sending the HNT is paid separately, in SOL. The rate floats with the market until your HNT deposit confirms. ### Can I send HNT straight to my BTC address? No. HNT moves on Solana and BTC on Bitcoin, so HNT can only be sent to a Solana address. To swap, send the HNT to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the BTC is paid to the Bitcoin address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange HNT to BTC? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bitcoin address that should receive the BTC, send HNT from your own wallet, and the BTC goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What wallet and address do I need to receive BTC? Use a Bitcoin address from a wallet you control, such as Sparrow, Electrum or a hardware wallet. The address starts with bc1, 3 or 1. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the BTC is sent straight to the address you enter. ### What happens if my HNT to BTC exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the HNT is refunded to the Solana address you entered as the sender address. ## Related - [Reverse: BTC to HNT](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/btc-hnt/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/btc-hnt.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)
