# Deposit & Withdraw Durations

Acre deposits and withdrawals involve on chain transactions and confirmation times may vary based on network congestion. Deposits may take 1-3 hours to confirm fully on-chain.

**Deposit Times:**

* **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.
* Ethereum Confirmations: These are typically \~1-5 minutes.
* **Optimistic Minting:** After the necessary confirmations, there is an additional 1-hour delay for the tBTC optimistic minting process.

**Lockups:**

* **None**

**Withdrawal Cooldown:**

* **72 hours**
* Starting 12/1/2025, Acre's initial vault will begin allocating into less liquid strategies, at which point the cooldown period will expand to **14 days**.
