How to convert CoW Protocol to Bitcoin

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

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

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

Step 3 — Withdraw BTC to Bitcoin
Finally, go to the Withdraw tab. Select Bitcoin (BTC) from your NEAR Intents balance and choose Bitcoin as the destination. Enter an address from any Bitcoin wallet 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 COW → BTC swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your COW leaves Gnosis Chain and BTC arrives on Bitcoin. 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 BTC on Bitcoin, not a wrapped copy you have to bridge again.

Both COW and BTC float against the dollar, so the COW/BTC 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 CoW Protocol and Bitcoin

What is CoW Protocol (COW)?

CoW Protocol grew out of Gnosis Protocol, and its token launched in early 2022 when CoW DAO was spun off from Gnosis. The name refers to 'coincidence of wants', the moment two traders' orders can be matched directly.

How CoW Protocol works

Users sign orders expressing what they want to trade; competing solvers then settle them in batches at uniform prices, matching opposite orders peer-to-peer and routing the rest through on-chain liquidity. This design protects traders from front-running and sandwich attacks. The DAO also operates CoW Swap and MEV Blocker.

What COW is used for

COW holders vote on CoW DAO proposals, and solvers that settle batches post bonds that include COW. The token also trades on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain venues.

COW supply

The genesis supply was 1 billion COW; the token contract allows the DAO to mint at most 3% additional supply per year if governance approves it.

Before you swap COW

Here COW is delivered on Gnosis Chain, where fees are paid in xDAI, not ETH. If you need it on Ethereum, bridge it separately after the swap.

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.
