Withdraw

The withdrawal process transfers your Bitcoin from Botanix back to the Bitcoin main chain.

Step 1 - Enter Withdrawal Details

Navigate to the "Withdraw" tab in the bridge interface
In the "Amount" field, enter how much Bitcoin you wish to withdraw
- You can use the percentage buttons (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) to quickly select a portion of your available balance
- Note that there is a minimum withdrawal amount of 0.0001 BTC
Enter your Bitcoin recipient address in the "Receive Address" field
- Double-check this address to ensure it's correct
- For added security, consider sending a small test amount first

Review all details
Click "Withdraw" to initiate the withdrawal process
Confirm the transaction in your wallet
Your withdrawal request will be processed during the next epoch block (approximately every minute)

You can get an overview of your withdrawals by clicking "See withdrawal history"
Once processed, the Bitcoin will be sent from the federation multisig wallet to your specified Bitcoin address
Check your Bitcoin wallet or a block explorer to confirm receipt. You can easily access the Bitcoin mempool by clicking on the transaction in the Withdrawal History

Fees: The total fee for a withdrawal consists of:
- Botanix gas fee for the burn transaction
- Bitcoin network fee for the outgoing transaction
- These fees are automatically calculated and deducted from your withdrawal amount
Processing Time: Withdrawals are batched and processed approximately every 10 minutes with each epoch block
Minimum Withdrawal: You cannot withdraw less than 0.0001 BTC

Insufficient Balance: Ensure you have enough Bitcoin on Botanix to cover both the withdrawal amount and the gas fees
Transaction Failing: Check that you've entered a valid Bitcoin address
Delayed Receipt: During periods of network congestion, it may take longer for your withdrawal to be processed
