Depositing BTC
What you need
Two wallets:
A Bitcoin wallet you control - to send BTC. Not an exchange account.
A Pharos EVM wallet - to receive and hold BTCvp. The connected Pharos address becomes the mint recipient.
Minimum deposit: 0.0001 BTC.
How it works
Connect both wallets on vault.vishwalab.com.
Use the Mint tab. The interface associates your deposit with your connected Pharos address.
Send BTC from your connected Bitcoin wallet to the displayed custody address.
After 6 Bitcoin confirmations (about 60 minutes), the deposit is detected and BTCvp is minted to your Pharos wallet at approximately 1:1 (8 decimal places).
Do not deposit from an exchange
Always deposit through the interface from a Bitcoin wallet you control. Exchange withdrawals cannot carry the routing information that directs minting to your Pharos address, and may require manual recovery.
