Swap BTC → ZEC
Bitcoin in, Zcash out, wallet to wallet. Zcash is delisted from many custodial venues, so the routes that serve it are fewer than for major pairs — we show every one that genuinely does, and send your swap to the best rate.

What to know about this route
- ZEC routes through THORChain, Changee and Wagyu. THORChain is a decentralised protocol, so on that route no company holds your funds mid-swap, and Wagyu pays to shielded addresses by default.
- Zcash addresses come in transparent (t1...), shielded (zs...) and unified (u1...) forms. Swap routes usually deliver to transparent addresses.
- If privacy is your reason for holding ZEC, move the funds into your own shielded address after they arrive — that final hop is where the privacy actually begins.
How it works
- Enter the amount and the Zcash address where you want to receive funds.
- Compare the live quotes from every route that supports BTC → ZEC.
- Send one deposit of Bitcoin from your own wallet to the one-time address shown.
- Track the swap on-site until the Zcash arrives at your address.
Questions
- Can I buy Zcash without KYC?
- Yes, for standard swaps. Send Bitcoin from your own wallet to the one-time deposit address and the ZEC arrives at an address you control. No registration required.
- Will my ZEC be shielded?
- Not automatically. Most swap routes deliver to a transparent address, which behaves like a Bitcoin address — amounts and history are visible. To use Zcash's privacy, move the received funds to your own shielded address inside your wallet.
- Which routes support ZEC?
- THORChain, Changee and Wagyu. THORChain's native Zcash support means you can swap BTC for real ZEC on a decentralised protocol, with no wrapped tokens and no custodian, and Wagyu pays ZEC to shielded addresses by default. The terminal quotes every route and highlights whichever gives you more ZEC.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing from TokensFund — we charge no fee, so every quote is the provider's own rate. Each provider's own fees and the blockchains' network fees still apply, and they're already reflected in the quote you see.
