1. How do I send Bitcoin using my local currency balance?

Step 1: Open your Local Currency wallet

From the main screen, select your local currency wallet

Step 2: Tap Send

You will see the payment input screen.

Step 3: Enter payment details

You can:

  • Paste a Lightning invoice

Then tap Continue.


2. Enter the Amount

On the Amount Input screen, you will see:

  • Send: Amount in local currency

  • Receive: Amount in sats

  • Rate: Current BTC exchange rate

The system automatically converts your local currency to Bitcoin based on the live rate.

You may:

Before completing the transaction, you will see:

  • Total amount deducted in local currency

  • Payment method (Lightning/on-chain)

  • Amount in sats

  • Network fee

  • Transaction ID

Example shown:

  • Send via Lightning

  • Amount in sats: 100 sats

  • Local currency deducted includes conversion + fee

Carefully review all details.

The confirmation screen has a 5-minute expiration timer. If it expires, you must request a new invoice.


4. Confirm the Payment

Tap Confirm to complete the transaction.

Once confirmed:

  • Your local currency is converted to Bitcoin

  • If sent via Lightning, the payment is typically completed within a few seconds

  • If sent on-chain, the transaction may take around 10–60 minutes depending on Bitcoin network congestion

Lightning transactions cannot be reversed. On-chain transactions also cannot be reversed once confirmed on the blockchain.
