Arweave Historical Data Price Chart
SecureShift makes the BTC to AR exchange simple: pick the pair, paste your Arweave address, send BTC and receive AR — usually within 10–30 minutes. It is non-custodial, requires no account and compares rates across multiple liquidity providers so you get a competitive price on every swap.
Traders swap BTC to AR to rebalance a portfolio, follow momentum, or simply because they need AR for paying for decentralised data storage. Bitcoin and Arweave run on completely separate blockchains, so a direct BTC to AR swap on SecureShift saves you the deposit, trade and withdrawal steps of a centralised exchange — and the KYC that usually comes with it.
How to Swap BTC to AR on SecureShift
- Choose the pair. Select BTC in the “You send” field and AR in the “You get” field, then enter the amount of BTC you want to swap. The estimated AR payout updates in real time.
- Pick a rate type. A floating rate follows the market and is usually slightly better; a fixed rate locks your AR amount for the duration of the swap so price swings cannot affect it.
- Enter your Arweave address. Paste the Arweave network address (a native AR address) where you want to receive AR. Optionally add a refund address for BTC.
- Send your BTC. SecureShift generates a one-time Bitcoin deposit address. Send the exact amount from your wallet.
- Receive AR. After 1–2 network confirmations, the swap is executed and AR is sent to your wallet. Track every step on the order page and in a block explorer.
What Is Bitcoin (BTC)?
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and still the largest by market capitalisation. With a hard cap of 21 million coins and the most secure Proof-of-Work network in existence, BTC is treated by most investors as digital gold — a long-term store of value and the base pair for the entire crypto market.
What Is Arweave (AR)?
Arweave (AR) is the native token of Arweave, a network for permanent, pay-once data storage. SecureShift supports AR on its native Arweave network, so you send and receive it with a regular AR wallet address.

How Long Does a BTC to AR Swap Take?
Most BTC to AR exchanges complete in about 10–30 minutes. The biggest factor is how quickly your BTC deposit is confirmed: the Bitcoin network has a block time of about 10 minutes, and SecureShift waits for 1–2 network confirmations before releasing funds. Once the swap is executed, AR is broadcast on Arweave network, where blocks arrive every varies by network. Busy network periods or a low fee on your deposit can add some time — you can always follow progress live on the order page.
BTC to AR Fees and Rates
SecureShift has no hidden charges. The service fee is already included in the rate you see before you confirm, so the AR amount shown is what you should expect to receive (on a fixed rate it is guaranteed). The only other costs are the blockchain fees: a sat/vB miner fee that rises and falls with mempool congestion when you send BTC, and the Arweave network fee for delivering your AR, which is also built into the quote.
Tips for a Safe BTC to AR Exchange
- Double-check that your BTC wallet is set to a normal on-chain address — Lightning invoices are not the same thing as a Bitcoin address.
- Copy your AR address directly from your wallet and verify the first and last characters before confirming the order.
- Send BTC only on the network shown on the order page (Bitcoin). Deposits on another chain are not detected automatically.
- Send the deposit within the order time window, especially if you chose a fixed rate.
- Always add a refund address — if anything goes wrong, your BTC can be returned without contacting support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. SecureShift is non-custodial: you send BTC from your own wallet and receive AR directly in yours, so your funds are never held in an exchange account. Every order has a unique deposit address and can be tracked on-chain from start to finish.
Usually 10–30 minutes. The main factor is the confirmation time of your Bitcoin deposit (1–2 network confirmations); after that the AR payout is sent immediately on Arweave network.
No. You can swap BTC to AR without registering and without identity verification. All you need is a Arweave wallet address to receive your funds.
The SecureShift fee and the Arweave network payout fee are already included in the rate shown before you confirm. The only extra cost is the network fee your own wallet charges to send BTC.
A fixed rate locks the amount of AR you will receive for the duration of the order, protecting you from price moves. A floating rate follows the market until your deposit is confirmed and is usually slightly better, but the final amount can change a little.
If you send more or less BTC than requested on a floating-rate order, the swap is recalculated at the current rate. On a fixed-rate order, a different amount may be recalculated or refunded to your refund address. Contact support with your order ID if you need help.
