Quick checklist (30 seconds)

✅ BTC on Bitcoin mainnet (native BTC) ✅ Extra BTC for the Bitcoin network fee (miner fee) ✅ A TRON receiving address (starts with T...) ✅ Destination is USDT on TRON (TRC20), not ERC20 or BEP20

---

What you will get

You will send native BTC on Bitcoin mainnet and receive USDT (TRC20) on TRON to a TRON address (T...).

---

Before you start

TRON address format check (most common mistake)

Your Received Address must be a TRON address:

✅ TRON address: T... ❌ Not 0x... (Ethereum, BNB Chain, EVM) ❌ Not bc1... / 1... / 3... (Bitcoin)

If you are using an exchange deposit address, make sure the deposit network is TRC20 on the exchange side.

BTC fees are paid on Bitcoin (in BTC)

Bitcoin sends require a miner fee. Keep extra BTC available so your wallet can broadcast the transaction.

TRON fees (so you do not get stuck later)

You usually do not need TRX to receive USDT (TRC20). If you plan to move the USDT later on TRON, you will typically need a small amount of TRX for TRON fees (bandwidth/energy).

Step by step BTC (Native Bitcoin) to USDT (TRC20) on TRON

Step 1) Open ButterSwap

Go to the pre-filled swap page (recommended) or open the app:

• Prefilled: BTC to USDT (TRC20) on TRON

• App: dApp

You should see:

• From: BTC on Bitcoin

• To: USDT on TRON

From BTC (Bitcoin mainnet) to USDT (TRON TRC20)

Step 2) Connect your BTC wallet first (From)

Click Connect BTC Wallet on the swap card and connect the wallet that holds your native BTC on Bitcoin mainnet.

If your BTC balance shows as 0, confirm you are using a Bitcoin wallet with native BTC on Bitcoin mainnet, then reconnect.

Connect BTC Wallet for the From side

Step 3) Set your TRON receiving address (two valid paths)

In Received Address, you will see two options:

Option A: Connect wallet (same wallet flow) Click Connect Wallet under Received Address to connect the wallet that will receive USDT (TRC20) on TRON. If it does not provide a TRON address, use Option B.

Option B: Enter Address (different wallet) Click Enter Address and paste your TRON address (T...).

✅ Valid TRON address format: T... ❌ Do not use: 0x... (EVM), bc1... / 1... / 3... (Bitcoin)

Received Address options (Connect Wallet or Enter Address)

Step 4) Enter amount and review route and fees

Enter the amount of BTC you want to swap.

Review the Best Route panel on the right (route steps and estimated receive). Check the fee and ETA area.

Best Route and fee or ETA area

Step 5) Confirm and complete the flow

Click Confirm to open the swap summary popup. Then follow the exact flow you see in the ButterSwap UI.

• Valid path A: In wallet confirmation If your BTC wallet supports in-app signing, you may be asked to approve or sign in your wallet.

• Valid path B: On-screen instructions inside ButterSwap If ButterSwap shows BTC send or deposit instructions inside the swap flow, follow the exact instructions shown. Do not send BTC anywhere unless ButterSwap shows it in the swap confirmation flow.

After submitting, you can monitor progress via:

• History in the swap UI (if shown)

• ButterSwap Explorer (if linked from the swap details screen)

Confirm swap popup

Fees and timing

• What fees apply?

  Bitcoin network fee (miner fee) applies when sending BTC. Route fees, if any, are shown in Best Route and in the confirm summary before you proceed.

• Do I need TRX?

  Receiving USDT (TRC20) usually does not require TRX. If you plan to move the USDT later on TRON, you will typically need a small amount of TRX for TRON fees.

• How long does it take?

  Timing varies based on Bitcoin confirmations and routing execution. Track progress in History and verify via ButterSwap Explorer if available.

---

Common issues (quick fixes)

• Wrong receiving address format

  For TRON, your receiving address must start with T.... Do not paste 0x... or Bitcoin address formats.

• Not enough BTC to cover miner fee

  If your BTC send fails or you cannot proceed, reduce the BTC amount slightly and retry.

• Confirm is disabled or the popup does not appear

  Most common causes:

  1. From wallet not connected (Step 2)

  2. Received Address not set (Step 3)

  3. Not enough BTC left for the miner fee

  4. Amount too small for the route or fees shown

• I used an exchange TRON deposit address but funds are not credited

  Make sure the exchange deposit network is TRC20. Then track status in History or use the explorer link from swap details if available.
