Getting rBTC and back to BTC with FastBTC
This guide refers to the integration of FastBTC implemented by ROC
RIF On Chain has implemented an integration of FastBTC Relay developed by Sovryn.
FastBTC is a quick and easy way to obtain the rBTC you are going to need to operate the RIF On Chain protocol. It lets you exchange your BTC for rBTC inside RIF On Chain's dApp to be able to pay Gas with rBTC.
What is FastBTC?
According to Sovryn: "FastBTC allows the bi-directional exchange between BTC and RBTC. The FastBTC Relay is not fully decentralized. There is a very brief custodial process where the user entrusts the FastBTC operator to receive the user's BTC and exchange it for RBTC. The exchange is facilitated quickly."
To use FastBTC integration in the RIF On Chain app follow these steps:
Go to the web app and connect your wallet. Click on the Bitcoin button on the left sidebar and then you will see this page.
From BTC to RBTC
Click on Convert BTC to rBTC. A pop up will detail important information
Users who wish to deposit more than the maximum limit may add more BTC by sending the max limit multiple times over multiple transactions. If you are going to send multiple FastBTC transactions, make sure to wait a good length of time (half an hour) between them to ensure there is no possibility that the transactions are included in the same block.
Click on GENERATE BTC DEPOSIT ADDRESS
Send BTC to the address shown to you
After a moment this screen will appear showing transaction information.
And then, when rBTC is deposited second part of the details will show the transaction is done.
That's it! Now you have an easy and fast way to bring your BTC to RIF On Chain protocol and mint your favorite token.
You can check information related to the peg in operations at the bottom of the screen:
