How to Mint on Mainnet?

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, please ensure you have:

  • A Bitcoin wallet with available UTXOs (not linked to BRC-20 or other derivative assets).
  • An EVM-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask) to receive YBTC.

1. Connect Your Bitcoin Wallet​

1.1 Visit BitVM Bridge and connect your Bitcoin wallet.​

1.2 Confirm Amount and Ethereum Address​

Enter the amount you want to mint (up to 5 BTC), and provide your Ethereum wallet address.
If an EVM wallet is already connected, the receiving address will be auto-filled.

You can add YBTC to your wallet with a single click.

2. Select Funding UTXOs​

Choose UTXOs that are not associated with assets such as BRC-20.
If the selected UTXOs contain more BTC than required, the excess will be automatically returned to your Bitcoin address.

3. Generate Deposit Address​

The BitVM Bridge Network will generate a custom smart contract address to receive your BTC.
This contract is created based on your peg-in request.

4. Deposit BTC​

Carefully review the deposit details, then send your BTC to the generated address.
The confirmation process typically takes 60–100 minutes. You may safely close the window — the minting will continue in the background.

5. Check YBTC in Your Wallet​

Once the minting process is complete, YBTC will appear in your EVM wallet.
The official contract address for YBTC is:
