## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
### Can I buy real Bitcoin on Trust Wallet?
Yes, but as BTCB – a wrapped version pegged 1:1 to Bitcoin. Convert to native BTC via Binance or cross-chain bridges.
### Why can’t I find Bitcoin (BTC) in the DEX?
Trust Wallet’s DEX only lists BEP-20 tokens. Search for “BTCB” instead of “BTC”.
### How long does the swap take?
Typically 5-30 seconds on Binance Smart Chain.
### What if my swap fails?
1. Increase slippage tolerance
2. Ensure sufficient BNB for gas
3. Retry during lower network congestion
### Can I send BTCB to a Bitcoin address?
No! BTCB must go to BEP-20 compatible wallets. Sending to a BTC address will lose funds.
