BitSwap FAQs

What is BitSwap?

BitSwap is described as a cross-chain swap protocol for BRC-20 tokens and the Bitcoin ecosystem. Its listed chain is Ethereum, but supported routes and assets aren't specified.

What fees does BitSwap charge?

BitSwap's swap fees are not disclosed, and the available details don't explain other route costs. Check the full transaction quote before approving a swap.

Is BitSwap safe to use?

No audit is listed, and the custody and security model aren't clear. That isn't proof of a security problem, but you should avoid depositing funds until you can verify how swaps work and what protections are in place.
