Step 1: Creatting a transaction

Enter Amount

The next step is to enter an amount you would like to send. The amount entered appears in the BTC field, and you can see the corresponding amount in USD under transaction summary.

Enter Amount

  • The minimum amount to send to perform a pegin operation is 0.005 BTC, any amount less than this throws an error message: “You cannot send that amount of BTC, you can only send a minimum of 0.005 BTC”.
  • The minimum amount to send to perform a pegout operation is 0.004 RBTC, any amount less than this throws an error message: “You cannot send that amount of BTC, you can only send a minimum of 0.005 BTC”.
  • The maximum amount to send to perform a pegout or pegout operation is 10 RBTC / BTC, any amount greater than this throws an error message: “The maximum accepted value is 10”.
  • Note that the amount sent in BTC is the same amount to be received in RBTC on the Rootstock network.

Step 2: Enter address

To enter an address, we are provided with two options:

  • (1) Your connected Rootstock address. See Account based addresses
  • (2) Connect to a software wallet. E.g, Metamask. Here, the address is automatically filled in by the account that is connected to your metamask wallet.

Enter address

Step 3: Add a custom address

Also you can input a custom Rootstock address, different than the connected address.

Step 4: Select Transaction Fee

Here, we can select the fee that will be used for this transaction, this is set on default to average.

Step 5: View transaction summary

In this section, we can confirm the selected values:

  • Destination Address
  • Estimated time
  • BTC fee (Network fee)
  • Provider fee (always zero for this option)
  • Amount to send
  • Value to receive

Review Transaction

  • In the instance of an error on this transaction, the amount will be sent to the address indicated in the refund Bitcoin address located in your hardware wallet.
  • See the glossary section for the meaning of these values.

Step 6: Confirm the Transaction
