Durations
Acre deposits and withdrawals involve several delays due to the processes required by Bitcoin mainnet, Threshold Network's decentralized BTC connectivity layer, and Acre's contracts on Ethereum.
Deposit Delays:
Bitcoin Confirmations: The time required for deposit depends on the amount of BTC:
Less than 0.1 BTC: 1 confirmation, ~10 minutes.
Between 0.1 BTC and 1 BTC: 3 confirmations, ~30 minutes.
1 BTC or more: 6 confirmations, ~60 minutes.
tBTC Optimistic Minting: After the necessary confirmations, there is an additional 1-hour delay for the tBTC optimistic minting process. Once minting is complete, the stBTC deposit process completes in Acre shortly after.
Withdrawal Delays:
The tBTC redemption process typically takes between 5 to 7 hours on average.
These delays ensure the secure conversion and transfer of BTC and tBTC across the involved networks.
