Brave Wallet Transfer Problem

[F4Zz]

Hello everyone,

I unfortunatly tried to transfer BTC to my Brave Wallet which is in ETH using EVM.

I just realised right after that i transfered BTC with the ETH network, which of cours can’t work but accepted the transaction. I was wondering if it was possible for the Brave Team to find the BTC back with the TXD ID or are those BITCOIN definetly lost?

I know i should have converted my BTC in ETH First, but i thought the conversion would be done automatically.

Thanks for any help,

Best Regards

@F4Zz I’m a bit confused on your issue? Based on what I can see, your token has been sent and is in the address you had it sent to. They sent it as a BTC wrapped. So your BTC is on Ethereum. What you sent was BBTC (Binance Wrapped BTC), as seen at https://etherscan.io/token/0x9be89d2a4cd102d8fecc6bf9da793be995c22541 or https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/binance-wrapped-btc

Brave Wallet wouldn’t be able to see it right away, as you may need to add it as a custom asset first. The easiest way to do this will be to use the CoinGecko. Go to https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/binance-wrapped-btc and you’ll see something like below on the page:

Click on the fox icon, which is one for MetaMask.

When you do this, you’ll see like below:

click on Add and it will put it to your Wallet. You then will see it listed and also should see your balance. This is assuming you did indeed send it to your Brave Wallet address.

But it does seem based on your TXID that it did arrive. I can see that at https://etherscan.io/tx/0x15c9e4de11bd47b6e5798a8b05c03a47c6592a8c411a11a7ab75d42edfdccf58

Hello Saoiray,

Thank you so much for your assistance! I genuinely thought I had lost my bitcoins, but your solution worked perfectly. I’m honestly surprised by how simple it turned out to be. I truly appreciate your help—thanks again for everything!

Would you have any idea how could i convert those BBTC in ETH?

Best regards,

@F4Zz I’m not sure if BBTC can be swapped directly within your Wallet or if it needs to be bridged. I think it can be swapped. If so, here’s how you can do it:

Steps to Swap:

1. Click on the Swap option in your Wallet to access the swap page.
2. Under Choose Asset, select the token you want to swap (in your case, BBTC).
3. Enter the amount you want to swap by clicking where you see the 0.00 and then typing a number. You can also use the Half or Max buttons to auto-calculate the amount.
4. Under Choose Asset for the receive token, select ETH. It should display the conversion amount.
5. Click Review Swap, which will show all fees and the total cost.
6. Confirm the transaction if everything looks correct, and it will process as long as you have the necessary funds.

Notes:

1. Gas Fee
   The swap requires a gas fee, which in your case should be paid in ETH. If you don’t have enough ETH in your wallet to cover the gas fee, you’ll need to add some before proceeding.
2. Gas Fee Considerations for Other Transactions
   While this doesn’t apply to your current situation, it’s important for future reference:

• Always ensure you have enough ETH (or the appropriate gas token for the blockchain you’re using) to cover the gas fee.
• For example, if you have 1 ETH and want to swap or send it, you can’t use the full 1 ETH because some needs to be reserved for the gas fee. Let’s say the gas fee is 0.01 ETH and you have exactly 1 ETH in your wallet. The maximum you’d be able to send or swap is 1 ETH minus 0.01 ETH, which equals 0.99 ETH. If you attempt to send the full 1 ETH, the transaction won’t process because there wouldn’t be enough ETH left to cover the gas fee.

3. Gas Must Match the Blockchain
   Always ensure the gas token matches the blockchain you’re transacting on:

• Ethereum transactions require ETH from the Ethereum blockchain.
• Optimism transactions require ETH from the Optimism network.
• Solana transactions require SOL from the Solana blockchain.

And so on. I’m mentioning this because sometimes users buy ETH from the Ethereum blockchain and try to use it for an Optimism transaction, only to find it doesn’t work. Always double-check which blockchain you’re using and ensure you have the correct token for gas fees specific to that network.
