What is it?
A Bitcoin time-lock creates a special Taproot address (bc1p…) whose coins cannot be spent by anyone — including you — until the date and time you choose. After that moment, only the same wallet (OKX or Binance) that created it can withdraw.
It runs entirely on the Bitcoin mainnet and is completely separate from Polygon: no smart contract, no USDC/USDT, no POL, and no connection to the Polygon lock tools above. It accepts OKX Wallet or Binance Web3 Wallet (Taproot address).
Creating a lock
- Open the New Lock tab.
- Tap Connect OKX or Connect Binance — your Taproot address (
bc1p…) fills in automatically.
- Choose the date and time to lock until. It is always UTC, regardless of your device's timezone.
- Tap Create Vault. The tool generates your Vault Address (Taproot) — copy it.
- Send any amount of Bitcoin to that Vault Address from your wallet, or from any other wallet.
The vault address is worked out from two things only: your wallet and the exact date & time. Nothing is stored on any server.
Write down the exact date and time (UTC) you used. You need it to withdraw.
Withdrawing
- Open the Withdraw tab.
- Connect the same wallet (same address) you created the lock with.
- Enter the same date and time (UTC) from creation, exactly.
- Tap Find Vault. The tool re-derives the vault address, shows its balance, and a countdown if the time hasn't arrived yet.
- Then choose the destination — by default it is your own wallet address.
- Once the locktime has passed, tap Sign & Withdraw, confirm in your wallet, and the transaction is broadcast to the Bitcoin network.
A small Bitcoin network fee is deducted from the withdrawn amount.
Important
- Same wallet + same date and time. Change even one minute and a different (empty) vault address appears.
- Your keys never leave your wallet (OKX or Binance). The site only builds the transaction; the wallet signs it.
- Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. Double-check the vault address before sending.
- Losing access to the wallet, or forgetting the exact date, means losing access to the funds.
