Why exchange Zcash (ZEC) to Bitcoin (BTC)?
Exchange ZEC for BTC and the Bitcoin goes to an address you control. No account to open, no balance left with us.
The ZEC/BTC exchange rate, the network fee and the swap fee are shown before you send a single ZEC. The BTC amount quoted is the BTC amount you get.
Nothing is asked of you beyond a Bitcoin address. Send the exact ZEC figure shown on your swap page, including every decimal place — a rounded amount needs manual review and takes longer.
Sending Zcash
Zcash is a proof-of-work chain that pioneered zero-knowledge (zk-SNARK) shielded transactions: the sender, receiver and amount of a shielded transfer are encrypted on-chain.
Zcash blocks arrive about 75 seconds, so a deposit usually confirms in a few minutes.
Your ZEC deposit is verified on the Zcash network before the swap proceeds — typically a few minutes after you send.
Receiving Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the original proof-of-work cryptocurrency and the most widely held digital asset; its ledger is fully public.
Your Bitcoin goes to the address you give, and only that address. Accepted formats: legacy addresses start with 1, SegWit addresses with 3 or bc1q, Taproot addresses with bc1p.
The payout is sent once your deposit is confirmed. Bitcoin blocks arrive about 10 minutes, so it is usually spendable within minutes of being sent.

Zcash (ZEC) to Bitcoin (BTC) FAQ
- What does the ZEC to BTC rate mean?
- It is how much Bitcoin (BTC) you receive for each Zcash (ZEC) you send, taken from live market prices at the moment you ask for a quote. The rate moves with the market, so you have 90 seconds to accept a quote and create the swap; the widget refreshes it automatically if you take longer. Funding the swap once it exists has its own separate deadline, shown on your swap page.
- How do I convert ZEC to BTC?
- Enter the amount of ZEC in the widget, choose BTC as what you receive, and give a Bitcoin address. You are shown a deposit address and an exact ZEC amount; send that amount and the BTC is paid to your address once the deposit confirms. No account is needed at any step.
- What are the fees to exchange ZEC for BTC?
- Two, both shown in the quote before you send: a swap fee of 0.5% of the amount, and a network-fee charge for the Bitcoin payout transaction. There is nothing added afterwards — the BTC amount in the quote is the BTC amount that arrives.
- What is the minimum ZEC/BTC exchange amount?
- $100 worth, shown in the widget as an amount of ZEC at the current rate. There is no maximum imposed by the site beyond available Bitcoin liquidity, and no verification at any size.
- Do I need an ID to swap ZEC to BTC?
- No. There is no KYC, no account and no email required. A swap is identified by its link, which shows its status without logging in. Creating an account is optional and only keeps your swap history in one place.
- How long do ZEC to BTC swaps take?
- Zcash deposits usually confirm in a few minutes, after which the deposit is verified on-chain. Swap times vary by asset and by how quickly its network confirms. Your swap status page shows the current stage throughout the process.
- Which Bitcoin address should I give?
- Any address in a format Bitcoin accepts: legacy addresses start with 1, SegWit addresses with 3 or bc1q, Taproot addresses with bc1p.
- What happens if my ZEC deposit is late or the swap expires?
- There are two separate deadlines. The quote itself is held for 90 seconds — that is how long you have to accept the price and create the swap. Once the swap exists you get a separate funding window, shown on your swap page, to send the ZEC. If your deposit arrives after that window closes, the status page shows Expired and the swap moves to Review required; it is then completed at the current rate or refunded to your refund address. Nothing is lost by being late — a late deposit just needs review before it is processed.
- Can I swap BTC back to ZEC?
- Yes — every pair works in both directions. The BTC to ZEC page is linked below.
