Pair · no account
No account, no email, no verification: measure a dose of Ether, paste the BTC address the distillate goes to, and the lab does the rest.
Both sides settle on their own chain: Ether needs a few blocks (1–3 min) before the lab sees the deposit, then Bitcoin is delivered within 1–2 confirmations (10–20 min).
The lab fee of 0.5% and the network fee for delivering BTC are both inside the quote; the only extra cost is what your own wallet charges to send ETH.
The process
Enter how much Ether you pour and the BTC address the distillate goes to. The estimate updates before you commit.
Send exactly that dose from any wallet to the deposit address, on Ethereum mainnet. The furnace lights at the first confirmation (a few blocks (1–3 min)).
The lab distills and delivers to your flask on Bitcoin mainnet. About 11 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 11 minutes for the median batch. Most of it is waiting for a few blocks (1–3 min) on Ethereum; the delivery on Bitcoin is quick once distillation starts.
About 0.0091 ETH (about $20) 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 BTC 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.
Any BTC address you control on Bitcoin mainnet, including an exchange deposit address. Double-check it: the lab cannot recall a distillate once it is sent.
The deposit address listens on Ethereum 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.
