What wallet do I need to receive BTC?

BTC is sent on Bitcoin, so you need any Bitcoin wallet. Use an address you control; if you send to an exchange, check that it accepts BTC on Bitcoin, as some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.

Do I need KYC or an account to swap XAUT to BTC?

No. There is no sign-up, no email and no ID verification: you pay XAUT from your own wallet and receive BTC at an address you choose. NEAR Mobile Swap is only an interface to the NEAR Intents protocol and never asks for personal data.

How long does a XAUT to BTC swap take?

The swap itself settles in seconds once your XAUT deposit is confirmed on Ethereum. Total time depends mostly on how many confirmations Ethereum needs for the deposit, plus the withdrawal to Bitcoin.

What is the XAUT to BTC rate today?

1 XAUT ≈ 0.0482 BTC at current market prices ($4,154 per XAUT, $86,140 per BTC). This is an indicative rate from market prices; the quote in the widget is the amount you actually receive, after fees.

Q: Who holds my XAUT during the swap?

NEAR Mobile never does. Your XAUT goes to a deposit address created for your quote, NEAR Intents settles the swap on-chain, and the BTC is sent straight to your address on Bitcoin. If the swap can't be filled, the XAUT is refunded to your wallet or refund address. Funds you keep in a NEAR Intents balance (Deposit tab) can only be moved with your wallet's signature.

How to convert Tether Gold to Bitcoin

The widget above is already set to XAUT on Ethereum → BTC on Bitcoin. The whole swap runs in one flow through NEAR Intents:

Step 1: Choose how to pay
Connect any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby that holds your XAUT. Or turn on Swap from external wallet to get a deposit address and QR code you can pay from any wallet or exchange; you then add an address on Ethereum for refunds.

Step 2: Enter the amount and where to receive
Type how much XAUT to swap and the Bitcoin address that receives the BTC, from any Bitcoin wallet. The widget shows how much BTC you will receive, fees included, before you confirm.

Step 3: Confirm and send
Approve the transfer in your wallet, or send the amount to the deposit address. Once it confirms on Ethereum, solvers fill the swap and the BTC is sent to your address on Bitcoin. If the swap can't be filled, your XAUT is refunded.

Prefer to keep a balance inside NEAR Intents? The Deposit tab adds XAUT to it, Swap trades within it, and Withdraw sends tokens out to their own networks.

⚠ Important: receive on an address you control. If you send the BTC to an exchange instead, check that it accepts BTC on Bitcoin: some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.

About the XAUT → BTC swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your XAUT leaves Ethereum 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, ready to use there with no second bridging step.

XAUT is a tokenized version of another asset, so its price tracks its underlying rather than BTC. Swapping between XAUT and BTC changes both your exposure and the network your funds live on.

About Tether Gold and Bitcoin

What is Tether Gold (XAUT)?

Tether Gold, written XAU₮ by its issuer, is a gold-backed token from the group behind USDT, launched in January 2020. It is issued by TG Commodities, S.A. de C.V., which moved its domicile from the British Virgin Islands to El Salvador in January 2025 and is authorised there as a stablecoin issuer.

Type: Gold-backed token (ERC-20)
Launched: 2020
Consensus: Runs on Ethereum
Max supply: No fixed cap (1 token = 1 troy ounce of gold)
Swap network: Ethereum

Tether Gold official site ↗

How Tether Gold works

Each token is an undivided interest in one fine troy ounce of gold on London Good Delivery bars, the LBMA standard, held by a custodian in Switzerland. Holders with a verified Tether Gold account can redeem whole bars, which usually means depositing about 430 tokens, and then take delivery in Switzerland or have the bar sold through a broker.

What XAUT is used for

XAUT gives on-chain exposure to the gold price without storing metal yourself. People hold it as a hedge or store of value, move gold value across borders in minutes, and trade it on exchanges against stablecoins and crypto.

XAUT supply

There is no fixed cap. Tokens are issued when customers buy XAUT from Tether Gold and removed when holders redeem for gold, so supply follows the ounces held in reserve.

Before you swap XAUT

XAUT tracks the price of gold, not the US dollar, so its value moves with the metal. This listing is the ERC-20 on Ethereum with 6 decimals, so keep ETH for gas. The issuer can block addresses at the contract level, and physical redemption is only possible through a verified Tether Gold account.

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.

Type: Layer-1 blockchain
Launched: 2009
Consensus: Proof of Work (SHA-256)
Max supply: 21 million BTC
Swap network: Bitcoin
Sector (Messari): Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin official site ↗Sector classification by Messari ↗

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.
