Hi Shreya, welcome to the community!

For your project involving converting between ckBTC and BTC, as well as ckETH and ETH, you might find the following example useful:

> I’ve created a new example called ckBTC Wallet! This example demonstrates how to integrate with the ckBTC ledger and minter to retrieve BTC. Check out the demo video: [[Simple btc intraction on ICP with @ic-reactor] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-J6eWcfmOQ)You can find the source code on GitHub: [ckBTC Wallet Code](https://github.com/B3Pay/ic-reactor/tree/main/examples/ckbtc-wallet)Key Component: MinterRetrieveBTC This hooks handles the retrieval of BTC by interacting with the ckBTC ledger and minter. Here are the main parts of the component: const { call: refetchBalance, data: balance, …

The process for ckETH is very similar. For such simple conversions, you don’t necessarily need a backend. The frontend can handle interactions with the canisters effectively.

Let me know if you have any more questions or need further assistance!
