Terms of Service
Last updated: January 2026
1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Satora, an atomic swap service operated by Sofbear Consulting Ltd., a company registered in the British Virgin Islands ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.2. Service Description
Satora provides an atomic swap service that enables users to exchange Bitcoin (BTC) with Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) and other tokens across multiple blockchain networks, including but not limited to Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum.
When a user wishes to acquire BTC using tokens on Ethereum, Polygon, or other supported networks, the deposited funds are first converted to wBTC through decentralized exchanges (such as Uniswap), and then atomically swapped to BTC, which is sent to the user's specified target address.
3. Refund Policy
In the event that a swap cannot be completed or requires a refund, users will receive their initial deposited asset back to their original address. For swaps initiated from EVM-compatible networks to BTC, please note that:
- Refunds will be processed in the original asset deposited
- Refunds will be sent to the original source address
- Users may be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the time of deposit and refund
4. Exchange Rate Risk
IMPORTANT: Users participating in swaps from EVM-compatible networks (Ethereum, Polygon, etc.) to BTC are subject to exchange rate risk. We use decentralized exchanges, including Uniswap, to convert tokens to wBTC as part of the swap process.
We do not provide any guarantees regarding exchange rates. Rates may fluctuate between the time you initiate a swap and when it is executed. You acknowledge and accept this risk when using our service.
