What you need to know

What WBTC represents

WBTC is a tokenized Bitcoin representation rather than native BTC. WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs.

WBTC wrapper and underlying-asset boundary

WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. Contract transfers, approvals, and unwrap activity remain visible and require native network gas.

WBTC contract networks

Ethereum, Base, Osmosis, Sonic, Berachain Bepolia, Telos, Unichain, Swellchain, Monad, Soneium, BNB Chain, Sui, Solana, Optimism, Aptos, Avalanche, BOB, Arbitrum, Polygon, Linea, Scroll, zkSync Era, Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), Tron contain recorded contract representations. Never send the wrapper to an underlying-asset address unless an explicit unwrap route provides that destination.

WBTC recorded token precision

The contract representations currently share one recorded decimal format, but contract identity and network still require independent verification.

Receiving WBTC without a network mismatch

A WBTC destination requires the exact contract on the selected smart-contract network. Do not send WBTC to a native Bitcoin address. WBTC can use different contracts on different networks.

Routes arriving as WBTC

ARB → WBTC, AVAX → WBTC, BNB → WBTC, BTC → WBTC, DAI → WBTC, DOGE → WBTC, ETH → WBTC, HYPE → WBTC, LINK → WBTC, OP → WBTC

Routes spending WBTC

WBTC privacy and wallet linking

Approvals, token transfers, wallet reuse, amounts, timing, and later consolidation can remain visible. Private Route availability and identity requirements must be checked separately.

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) FAQs

What is wrapped about WBTC?

WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. Wrapper contracts, token approvals, and unwrap behavior remain separate from the underlying native asset.

Can WBTC pay native gas?

A wrapped token balance does not replace a network's native gas balance. Confirm both the WBTC contract and the gas asset before sending.

Which receiving networks are recorded for WBTC?

Ethereum, Base, Osmosis, Sonic, Berachain Bepolia, Telos, Unichain, Swellchain, Monad, Soneium, BNB Chain, Sui, Solana, Optimism, Aptos, Avalanche, BOB, Arbitrum, Polygon, Linea, Scroll, zkSync Era, Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), Tron

Can I use a live WBTC route now?

Sasquatch currently lists routes for Wrapped Bitcoin. Exact availability still depends on the selected networks and live quote.

What is the safest WBTC receiving check?

A WBTC destination requires the exact contract on the selected smart-contract network. Do not send WBTC to a native Bitcoin address.
