# How to get uBTC on B²  Network

We have two sections: one for existing [Hive Protocol](https://hive.bsquared.network/) stakers, where they have to withdraw from Hive first before depositing into UniRouter for uBTC; another is for new users who want to directly get hands on uBTC from their B2 BTCs.

### For existing Hive Protocol stakers

Step 1: Head to Hive’s “withdraw” page <https://hive.bsquared.network/withdraw/>

Step 2: Enter your staked amounts and initiate the unstaking process, which as indicated by Hive it will take about 24 hours for you to be able to withdraw. Click “Unstake” and complete the transaction, then you should see “Pending to withdraw” to show your unstaking amounts at the bottom of your page

Step 3: After about 24 hours, at the same page you should be able to see the stats where you have “ready to withdraw” balances updated, and the “Withdraw” button enabled. Click “Withdraw” and finish the transaction, then you have your bitcoins back to your wallet. Voilà! Now you are ready to use UniRouter to convert those bitcoins to uBTC while still earning B2 rewards from Hive staking

### For new UniRouter users

Step 1: Head to UniRouter’s uBTC page <https://app.unirouter.io/>, on the upper right corner, make sure you’ve switched to B² mainnet and your wallet connected&#x20;

Step 2: Enter the amount of bitcoins you want to stake, click “Stake” and finish the transaction. Then you should see updated uBTC balance. Hover over the “+” sign and then you can add the token to your wallet. Congrats, now you have uBTC! Soon, you should be able to use uBTC to trade, lend & collateralize, and more

More notes:&#x20;

* The “Withdraw” process is pretty similar to Hive’s, feel free to check out [that section](#for-existing-hive-protocol-stakers)
* uBTC balances are snapshotted daily to calculate your $B2 rewards from Hive and UniRouter’s U Point allocation. For the latter, we’ll soon have a more detailed explanation on how it works. $B2 claiming will be enabled once Hive opens up for claiming.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.unirouter.io/dataroom/tutorials/how-to-get-ubtc-on-b-network.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
