Bitcoin against TON

	Bitcoin	TON
Network type	Layer one (L1)	Layer one (L1)
Fees are paid in	BTC	TON
Fee level	medium	low
Speed	slow	fast
Block	~10 min	—
Address shape	1…, 3…, bc1…	UQ…, EQ…
Memo or tag	not needed	needed for exchange accounts
Ethereum-style address (0x…)	no	no

Fee and speed levels are comparative: both move with how busy the network is.

How this differs from a classic bridge

	RubyCash	Classic bridge
What lands at your address	Native TON or ordinary TON tokens	Depends: in some networks it is the bridged version of the token
Wallet and signatures	Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order	Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions
A coin for fees in TON	Not needed to receive	Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
Timing	After confirmations in Bitcoin; the order page tracks it	Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks
Who holds the funds meanwhile	RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check	The bridge contract or its validators

Moving from Bitcoin to TON, step by step

Pick a route in the table above and work out the amount in the calculator on its page.
Enter your own address in TON (UQ…, EQ…).
Send the coins in Bitcoin to the address from the order, for exactly the amount stated.
Once Bitcoin confirms the transfer, the coins leave for your address in TON. The order page tracks every step.

Check this before sending to TON

The receiving address has to belong to TON (UQ…, EQ…).
If the receiving wallet asks for a Comment (Memo), put it in the order.
Send the coins in Bitcoin only: a transfer through another network never reaches the order.
Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
