How to convert Bitcoin to Kyber Network Crystal

Converting BTC to KNC on NEAR Mobile Swap is done in three simple steps through the NEAR Intents protocol: Deposit, Swap, and Withdraw.

Step 1 — Deposit BTC from Bitcoin
Go to the Deposit tab and select Bitcoin (BTC) on Bitcoin. The widget will generate a deposit address (or QR code) — send your BTC there from any wallet. Once the deposit is confirmed on Bitcoin, your BTC balance appears inside NEAR Intents.

Step 2 — Swap BTC to KNC on NEAR Intents
Switch to the Swap tab, pick BTC as the source and KNC as the target. Enter the amount and confirm — solvers compete to fill your order and the swap settles in seconds.

Step 3 — Withdraw KNC to Ethereum
Finally, go to the Withdraw tab. Select Kyber Network Crystal (KNC) from your NEAR Intents balance and choose Ethereum as the destination. Enter an address from any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby and confirm.

⚠ Important: When entering a withdrawal address, make sure it is a personal wallet you control. Some centralized exchanges do not support receiving funds from smart-contract-based deposits — sending to an exchange address may result in lost funds.

About the BTC → KNC swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your BTC leaves Bitcoin and KNC arrives on Ethereum. Normally that takes a bridge plus a DEX, or a centralized exchange account. With NEAR Intents the deposit, swap and withdrawal happen in one flow, and what lands in your wallet is KNC on Ethereum, not a wrapped copy you have to bridge again.

Both BTC and KNC float against the dollar, so the BTC/KNC rate moves with two markets at once. Traders use this pair to rotate between ecosystems in a single step instead of selling to a stablecoin first.

About Bitcoin and Kyber Network Crystal

What is Bitcoin (BTC)?

Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency, described in a 2008 white paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto and brought to life when its network went live in January 2009. BTC is the native unit of that network and moves directly between users without a bank or payment processor in the middle.

How Bitcoin works

Miners compete to add blocks by running SHA-256 hashing hardware in a Proof of Work process, and the chain with the most accumulated work is treated as valid. Every full node independently checks each transaction against the rules, so the ledger's history becomes harder to alter with every block stacked on top.

What BTC is used for

Most holders treat BTC as a long-term store of value and a hedge outside the traditional financial system. It is also used for cross-border transfers, as collateral in lending markets, and as a base trading pair across the crypto industry.

BTC supply

The protocol limits total issuance to 21 million BTC. New coins enter circulation only as block rewards, and that reward is cut in half roughly every four years in an event known as the halving.

Before you swap BTC

Bitcoin blocks arrive about every ten minutes on average, so a BTC deposit can take noticeably longer to confirm than deposits on faster chains. Double-check the receiving address format before withdrawing, since Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed.

What is Kyber Network Crystal (KNC)?

Kyber Network Crystal is the token behind Kyber Network, a liquidity project founded in Singapore in 2017 by Loi Luu, Victor Tran and Yaron Velner. The current KNC contract dates from April 2021, when holders migrated the original token (now called KNCL) one-for-one to an upgradeable version approved by KyberDAO.

How Kyber Network Crystal works

KyberSwap routes trades across many decentralized exchanges and chains to find competitive prices, and also runs its own concentrated-liquidity pools. KNC holders stake in KyberDAO to vote on proposals that shape fees, incentives and the protocol's direction.

What KNC is used for

Holders stake KNC to take part in governance and, depending on the program in force, collect rewards linked to protocol activity. It also trades as a liquid DeFi asset on Ethereum and other EVM networks where KyberSwap is deployed.

KNC supply

The 2021 upgrade gave KyberDAO power to mint or burn KNC through governance; the DAO has already voted to mint extra tokens for an ecosystem fund, so the supply is not permanently fixed.

Before you swap KNC

KNC is listed here as the Ethereum ERC-20 (the v2 contract, not legacy KNCL). Keep some ETH in the receiving wallet to pay gas when you use it later.
