Networks and wallets for ETH to WBTC
Ethereum mainnet
Check whether your ETH balance is on Ethereum mainnet or a layer 2 such as Arbitrum or Base. The same 0x address can appear on several networks.
Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 WBTC)
Use an Ethereum account that supports the WBTC contract for an Ethereum payout. If you need spendable BTC on Bitcoin mainnet afterward, budget for a separate conversion or redemption.
Check ETH deposit and WBTC payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your WBTC wallet expects.
How to convert ETH to WBTC
- Check that a live provider quotes your ETH deposit network and the WBTC payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of WBTC you would receive after fees, then confirm the receiving address and any memo or tag required for your payout.
- If you go ahead, follow the live order’s deposit instructions. Keep the order ID and the ETH transaction reference, then verify the WBTC payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare ETH to WBTC rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the ETH amount by the rate expressed in WBTC per ETH. Then compare the actual WBTC payout for the same ETH amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Orbit uses a $100 minimum. The estimate on this page uses reference market prices before fees. An executable quote, including any additional route limits, comes from a live settlement provider.
