tBTC Minting Walkthrough

Follow along with this guide and leverage your Bitcoin by minting tBTC.

Before you start

Here are some things you will need before you start the minting process: What you need:

✅ At least 0.01 Bitcoin (BTC)

✅ Bitcoin compatible wallet (self-custodied)

✅ Destination Wallet (on supported chains; see the list of supported chains here.) Important Reminders:

• Always download and securely store your deposit receipt. This JSON file is required to recover your funds in the event of any technical issues during the minting process.

• Minting may take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the amount of BTC deposited. You can monitor the status at https://tbtcscan.com.

• Your BTC recovery address must come from a self-custodied wallet that you control. Do not use an address from a centralized exchange.

• Multisig wallets are supported as long as they’re on the correct network.

If you don't have a Bitcoin wallet, you'll need to set one up. A solid option to use is Green Wallet. You can download it here:

• Apple store download

• Google store download

After you've created your wallet, select Bitcoin as your network..
