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 currently routes through one of our providers, so you may see a single quote rather than a comparison. That is us showing only routes that actually exist rather than padding the list.
- 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.
- Why is there only one route for ZEC?
- Privacy assets have been delisted from many platforms, which fragmented liquidity. We only display routes that genuinely support the pair. THORChain has announced a Zcash pool which is not yet live; when it activates we will add it and the comparison widens.
- What does it cost?
- A flat 1%, already included in the quote you see, plus the network fees charged by Bitcoin and Zcash themselves.
