FAQ — General

What is Return To BTC?

Return To BTC is a Telegram trading bot for the Spark Bitcoin L2 network. It gives you a non-custodial wallet, market and limit orders, DCA, price alerts, portfolio tracking, and a referral program — all from inside Telegram. The bot handle is @ReturnToBTCbot.

What is Spark?

Spark is a Bitcoin Layer 2 designed for fast, cheap settlement of BTC and token transactions. Return To BTC is built natively on Spark, which means trades settle in seconds and fees are tiny compared to Bitcoin L1.

Is Return To BTC custodial?

No. Return To BTC is non-custodial. Your wallet is generated (or imported) locally; your seed phrase is encrypted at rest and never displayed in chat history beyond a single self-destructing message. Only you can authorise trades and withdrawals.

What fees does Return To BTC charge?

There is a flat 1% integrator fee on every trade executed through the bot (market buys, market sells, limit order fills, and DCA buys). This is in addition to:

• The Spark network fee (paid to validators)
• The DEX protocol fee (typically 0.25–0.30%, paid to the venue)

All fees are itemised on every quote before you confirm. Deposits are free; withdrawals only pay the Spark network fee.

Are there any subscription or setup fees?

No. Return To BTC is free to use. You only pay the 1% integrator fee on trades plus standard network costs.

What tokens can I trade?

Any token with a liquidity pool on Spark DEXs. Return To BTC's router automatically finds the best path across all supported venues.

What's the minimum trade size?

There's no hard minimum from Return To BTC, but in practice you'll want to trade enough that the network + DEX + 1% integrator fee don't dominate your size. A practical floor is around 0.0005 BTC per trade.

Is Return To BTC available worldwide?

The bot is accessible anywhere Telegram works. Compliance with your local laws is your responsibility. If you're in a jurisdiction that restricts crypto trading, do not use the bot.

How secure is it?

• Non-custodial: only you can spend from your wallet.
• Secure storage: your seed phrase is securely stored and never visible in chat history.
• Confirm-to-send: withdrawals require an explicit tap.
• Optional 2FA: a second Telegram confirmation message for withdrawals.
• Optional whitelist mode: restrict withdrawals to pre-approved addresses.

That said, you are the weakest link. Don't share your seed. Don't paste it into untrusted bots or websites. Don't approve withdrawals you didn't initiate.

What happens if I lose access to my Telegram account?

If you've backed up your seed phrase (you should have), you can re-import the wallet into any Spark-compatible wallet or into Return To BTC again from a new Telegram account. The bot's UI is just an interface to your on-chain wallet — your funds live on Spark, not in Telegram.

If you have not backed up your seed and lose Telegram access, your funds are likely unrecoverable.

How do I get support?

• Read the rest of the docs.
• Use Support → Contact inside the bot for direct help.
• For trade trace requests, use Support → Trace with a tx hash.

Is there an API?

Not currently public. If you're building something on top of Return To BTC, reach out via Support → Contact.

Does Return To BTC share my data?

Trade and portfolio data is stored encrypted server-side and tied to your Telegram ID. It is not sold or shared with third parties. The only data shared externally is what's necessary to execute trades on Spark (i.e., signed transactions, which are public on-chain by nature).
