Alchimex turns Bitcoin into USD Coin in one batch: one deposit address, one fixed formula, one batch number to follow it.
Distilling Bitcoin into USDC locks in a dollar value at the moment you seal the batch; the stablecoin is delivered on Ethereum (ERC-20), so pick an address on that network.
Your batch number is the only key to the batch page: no account, no email, nothing else that ties the swap to you.
The process
Enter how much Bitcoin you pour and the USDC address the distillate goes to — an address on Ethereum (ERC-20). The estimate updates before you commit.
Send exactly that dose from any wallet to the deposit address, on Bitcoin mainnet. The furnace lights at the first confirmation (1–2 confirmations (10–20 min)).
The lab distills and delivers to your flask on Ethereum (ERC-20). About 38 minutes end to end, confirmations included.
The pair
Formula and minimum refresh every few minutes from the live route. The binding formula is the one engraved when you start a batch.
About 38 minutes for the median batch. Most of it is waiting for 1–2 confirmations (10–20 min) on Bitcoin; the delivery on Ethereum is quick once distillation starts.
About 0.00052 BTC (about $40) at today's prices. Below that, network fees would eat the distillate, so the batch pauses until you top up or ask for a return.
Yes. The expected USDC output is engraved when you seal the batch and holds until the expiry shown on the deposit page. A deposit that arrives after expiry is handled at the live formula or returned, and you are told which.
No. There is no account, no email and no identity check. The batch number you receive is the only way to find the batch again, so keep it.
A Ethereum (ERC-20) address. USDC on another network is a different token with a different address format; the lab delivers only on Ethereum (ERC-20) for this pair.
The deposit address listens on Bitcoin mainnet only. Tokens sent on another chain are not seen by the athanor; some can be recovered by a technician for a handling fee, many cannot. When in doubt, send a small test dose first.
