Swap Wrapped BTC (WBTC) to Dai Stablecoin (DAI) on Ethereum
Swap Wrapped BTC (WBTC) to Dai Stablecoin (DAI) on Ethereum with Orkid. 9 bps flat fee, gasless via Permit2, MEV-protected, surplus returned. No gas token needed.
Why swap WBTC to DAI on Ethereum with Orkid?
Swapping Wrapped BTC (WBTC) to Dai Stablecoin (DAI) on Ethereum is a DeFi token swap. Wrapped BTC and Dai Stablecoin are both ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum, and Orkid routes across all major Ethereum DEX venues to find the best price.
How WBTC-to-DAI swaps work on Ethereum
DeFi token swaps on Ethereum are subject to MEV extraction. Sandwich bots monitor the mempool for large swaps and front-run them. Orkid prevents this with intent-based execution — your swap intent is matched by a solver, not broadcast to the public mempool.
Step 1: Connect your wallet
Connect any EVM-compatible wallet to Orkid. No registration, no KYC, no deposit. Your funds stay in your wallet until the swap executes.
Step 2: Select WBTC and DAI
Choose Wrapped BTC (WBTC) as the input token and Dai Stablecoin (DAI) as the output token. Orkid automatically detects the best routing path across all Ethereum DEX venues.
Step 3: Sign the swap intent
Instead of broadcasting a transaction to the mempool, you sign a message (via Permit2) authorizing the swap. This signature is sent to a solver who executes the swap on your behalf. No gas required from your wallet.
Step 4: Receive DAI
The solver executes the swap and Dai Stablecoin (DAI) arrives in your wallet within seconds. You pay 9 bps flat — no hidden fees, no spread, no gas charge.
Tips for WBTC-to-DAI swaps
For WBTC-to-DAI swaps, check the liquidity on Aerodrome and Uniswap V3 first. These are the deepest Ethereum DEXes and usually offer the best prices. Orkid routes across both automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to swap WBTC to DAI on Ethereum?
Orkid charges a flat 9 bps (0.09%) fee on the swap value. There are no hidden spreads, no gas charges (gasless via Permit2), and no additional fees. On a $1,000 swap, the fee is $0.90. On a $10,000 swap, the fee is $9.00.
Do I need gas token to swap WBTC to DAI?
No. Orkid uses Permit2 for gasless swaps. You sign a message approving the swap, and a solver executes the transaction on your behalf, paying the gas. The gas cost is included in the 9 bps fee. You only need WBTC in your wallet.
How long does a WBTC to DAI swap take on Ethereum?
Swaps on Ethereum typically execute within 2-5 seconds. Ethereum has ~12 second block times, so your swap is included in the next block after the solver submits it. You will see the DAI in your wallet within seconds of signing.
Is swapping WBTC to DAI on Ethereum safe from MEV?
Yes. Orkid uses intent-based execution, which means your swap is not broadcast to the public mempool. A solver matches your intent and executes the swap privately. Sandwich bots cannot see your transaction, so they cannot front-run it. This is fundamentally different from swapping on Uniswap or 1inch, where your transaction is visible to MEV bots before it executes.
What is the minimum amount to swap WBTC to DAI?
The minimum swap amount depends on the pool liquidity. For WBTC-to-DAI on Ethereum, the practical minimum is around $1 equivalent. Below that, the 9 bps fee (less than $0.01) may be smaller than the gas cost the solver pays, making the swap uneconomical. There is no maximum — Orkid handles large swaps via split routing.
