Why Swap and Bridge BTC to ALGO Here?

Swapping Bitcoin (BTC) for Algorand (ALGO) here takes one transfer from your wallet: no exchange account, no balance to deposit and no withdrawal queue. You choose the receiving address, and the ALGO goes there once the swap completes.

About Swapping Bitcoin to Algorand

Bitcoin (BTC) goes in from any wallet on the Bitcoin network, and Algorand (ALGO) comes out as the native coin of Algorand mainnet, paid to your own 58-character Algorand address. You need no account and no ID upload to start. People often swap BTC to ALGO to fund a fresh Algorand wallet such as Pera, because an Algorand account cannot pay fees or opt in to assets like USDC until it holds some ALGO.

Algorand is a pure proof-of-stake chain designed by Silvio Micali, and a block is final as soon as it is added, so the chain does not fork. Bitcoin is an unrelated proof-of-work chain, which makes this a cross-chain swap. The payout address is 58 characters of capital letters and digits, with no 0x prefix. Every Algorand account must keep at least 0.1 ALGO as a minimum balance, and the form shows a memo field for ALGO that only some exchange deposits use.

Quotes on this pair come as a floating-rate estimate, net of the exchange margin and the Algorand fee for sending your ALGO. If prices move before the bitcoin deposit confirms, the final ALGO figure can move slightly. Bitcoin sets most of the pace, targeting one block about every 10 minutes, and the miner fee you attach decides how soon your deposit gets in. Algorand finalizes blocks within seconds, so the payout side adds little. The order page shows each step and a transaction ID.

Before you send

  • Copy the full 58-character Algorand address from your wallet, and never paste a bc1 Bitcoin address or a 0x address in its place.
  • Leave the memo empty when the ALGO goes to your own wallet, and enter one only if the receiving exchange gives you a memo or note.
  • Pick a bitcoin miner fee that suits current mempool conditions, since a low fee rate can leave your deposit unconfirmed for longer.
  • Expect 0.1 ALGO of the payout to stay in the account as Algorand's minimum balance when you send funds onward later.

BTC to ALGO Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ALGO payout need a memo?

Only when the receiving address belongs to an exchange that asks for one. Algorand wallets you control, such as Pera or Defly, identify funds by address, so you can leave the field empty and confirm the warning the form shows. If an exchange gave you a memo or note, enter it exactly, or the deposit may not be credited.

Can I swap BTC straight into a brand-new Algorand wallet?

Yes, a fresh Algorand address needs no setup step before the bitcoin swap. The incoming ALGO creates the account on chain, and 0.1 ALGO of it stays reserved as the minimum balance every Algorand account must hold. Opting in to other assets later raises that minimum by 0.1 ALGO each.

Why is my BTC to ALGO swap still waiting for the deposit?

Usually because the bitcoin transaction has not confirmed yet. Bitcoin targets one block about every 10 minutes, and a deposit sent with a low fee rate can wait in the mempool longer when blocks are full. Once it confirms, the exchange runs and the ALGO payout follows on Algorand.

What does a valid Algorand receiving address look like?

It is 58 characters long and uses only capital letters and the digits 2 to 7, with no 0x or bc1 prefix. Copy it from the Receive screen of your Algorand wallet instead of typing it. A Bitcoin or Ethereum address cannot receive ALGO.

Why can the ALGO I get differ from the BTC quote?

The rate floats until your bitcoin deposit confirms, and with blocks about 10 minutes apart the market has time to move. The estimate already deducted the exchange margin and the Algorand payout fee, so neither comes off again. If the difference looks bigger than the market explains, message @xswap_to on Telegram with your transaction ID.

Do I have to sign up or show ID to convert BTC to ALGO?

No sign-up and no ID upload are needed to start: you enter an Algorand address, send bitcoin to the one-time deposit address and the ALGO goes to your wallet. In rare cases the exchange partner's compliance check can pause a swap and ask for verification. Support on Telegram handles those cases with the transaction ID.
