Bitcoin to Sui bridge
Bitcoin cannot talk to Sui directly, so moving BTC to Sui means swapping it into SUI, USDC or a BTC token on Sui. NEAR Intents and aggregators such as Rango and Squid work from your own wallet, ChangeNOW and SideShift are the simplest no-account options, and exchanges suit large amounts. Get a little SUI for gas, because every Sui transaction needs it.

Short answer
You send BTC from a Bitcoin wallet such as Sparrow, Electrum or a hardware wallet and receive on a Sui address in Slush, Suiet, Phantom or another wallet that supports Sui.
Sui is a Non-EVM network. Its addresses start with 0x but are 64 hex characters long, so they are not the same as Ethereum addresses.
| Official bridge | None from Bitcoin |
|---|---|
| Usual result | SUI, USDC or a BTC token on Sui |
| Gas on Sui | SUI |
| Addresses | bc1... on Bitcoin, 0x + 64 hex characters on Sui |
| Wallets | Slush, Suiet, Phantom |
| Usual time | 20 to 60 minutes |
Why this route is difficult
There is no lock-and-mint bridge from Bitcoin to Sui that works from your Bitcoin wallet, so every route is a swap paid by solvers, a liquidity pool or an exchange.
The payout waits for Bitcoin confirmations, so expect 20 to 60 minutes.
Possible approaches
1Intent-based swap
NEAR Intents takes native BTC and solvers deliver the asset you choose on Sui.
Trade-offNo account and often good rates, but supported assets on Sui can change.
2Instant exchange
ChangeNOW or SideShift give you a Bitcoin deposit address and send SUI or USDC to your Sui address.
Trade-offVery simple, but the service holds your funds during the swap.
3Aggregator
Rango or Squid compare several routes and combine swaps and bridges.
Trade-offFinds more options, but routes with several steps take longer.
4Centralized exchange
Deposit BTC, buy SUI or USDC and withdraw on the Sui network.
Trade-offCheap for large amounts, but needs a verified account.

How to move Bitcoin to Sui
Swap BTC into SUI
- 1
Prepare a Sui address
Open Slush, Suiet or Phantom and copy your Sui address, 0x followed by 64 characters.
- 2
Pick a service
Open NEAR Intents, ChangeNOW or Rango and choose BTC to SUI on the Sui network.
- 3
Send BTC
Paste your Sui address, check the quote and send BTC from your Bitcoin wallet.
- 4
Wait for the payout
After Bitcoin confirms the deposit, SUI arrives on your Sui address. Check it on Suiscan.
Fees and timing
You pay the Bitcoin network fee to send BTC.
The quote includes the service fee or spread.
Sui gas is cheap, but you need some SUI for every transaction.
Common mistakes
- Pasting an Ethereum address instead of a Sui address.
- Receiving only USDC with no SUI for gas.
- Expecting the payout in seconds. Bitcoin confirmations take time.
Before you transfer
- Try a small amount first.
- Take part of the amount in SUI so you can pay gas.
- For large amounts, compare an exchange and an Intent-based swap.
