Paste your Bitcoin address
Paste the Bitcoin address that should receive the BTC: it starts with bc1, 3 or 1. Wallets that work: Sparrow, Electrum or a hardware wallet. Then enter the Zcash address you send ZEC from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.

Receive BTC
Your BTC is usually paid out 20–60 minutes after you send your ZEC, and Bitcoin then confirms it in 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations). Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.
Zcash to Bitcoin: what to know before you swap
ZEC to BTC converts Zcash into Bitcoin without an account. Send ZEC from a transparent Zcash address; if your coins are in the shielded pool, unshield the amount to a transparent address in your wallet first, then send it to the deposit address.
Zcash blocks arrive about every 75 seconds, so the deposit confirms quickly; the BTC payout then confirms on Bitcoin in roughly 10-minute blocks.
Tips for this swap
- Bitcoin addresses start with bc1, 3 or 1.
- Enter the transparent Zcash address you send from as the sender address.
- Receive the BTC to a fresh address if you want to keep it separate from your other Bitcoin.
Can I swap ZEC to BTC without KYC?

Can I send shielded ZEC directly?

No country has banned owning Zcash. Some countries stop local exchanges from listing privacy coins, and from 10 July 2027 EU crypto providers can't keep accounts that use them. Country by country: Will Zcash be banned?
