How this differs from a classic bridge

	RubyCash	Classic bridge
What lands at your address	Native BTC or ordinary Bitcoin 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 Bitcoin	Not needed to receive	Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on
Timing	After confirmations in Solana; 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 Solana to Bitcoin, 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 Bitcoin (1…, 3…, bc1…).
Send the coins in Solana to the address from the order, for exactly the amount stated.
Once Solana confirms the transfer, the coins leave for your address in Bitcoin. The order page tracks every step.

Check this before sending to Bitcoin

The receiving address has to belong to Bitcoin (1…, 3…, bc1…).
Send the coins in Solana 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.
