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 you every one that does, and send your swap to the best rate.

What to know about this route
- ZEC has fewer routes than most pairs because of exchange delistings — expect a shorter comparison list, not a worse rate.
- 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 buying 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. The swap runs from your Bitcoin wallet to a one-time deposit address and delivers ZEC to an address you control. No registration and no KYC for standard swaps.
- 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.
- Why are there fewer routes for ZEC than for other coins?
- Privacy assets have been delisted from many custodial platforms, which fragmented liquidity. We only show routes that genuinely support the pair rather than padding the list.
- What does it cost?
- A flat 2%, already included in the quote you see, plus the network fees charged by Bitcoin and Zcash themselves.
