    Exchange in 3 steps

    1. Set the BTC amount and paste your Zcash receive address — transparent (t-) or shielded (z-) as your wallet requires.

    2. Create the order to lock the quote and see the BTC deposit address.

    3. Send BTC on Bitcoin mainnet. After confirmation, ZEC is paid to your wallet.

    Before you broadcast

    • One Bitcoin confirmation is usually enough before the ZEC payout leg starts.
    • SegWit BTC sends confirm faster and cost less — confirm your wallet can send to bc1… deposit addresses.
    • Transparent and shielded ZEC addresses are not interchangeable — use the address type your order and wallet expect.
    • Shielded ZEC payouts may take longer to display depending on wallet support — rescan if needed.

    Bitcoin — the original digital asset

    Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.

    Before you send BTC

    • Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
    • Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
    • Send only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the address on your order page.

    How long until Bitcoin confirms?

    Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.

    • Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
    • Explorers show queue position — compare against pending transaction volume.
    • Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.

    Why traders move BTC to other chains

    Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition — many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.

    Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.

    You receive

    Zcash — optional shielded privacy

    ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.

    ZEC receipt troubleshooting

    Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed.

    Transparent vs shielded payouts

    Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable.

    • Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order.
    • Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software.
    • If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is identity verification required to trade BTC for ZEC?

    No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Bitcoin → Zcash.

    How long is a BTC → ZEC order?

    Typical completion is a few minutes. Bitcoin mainnet and Zcash mainnet confirmation times set the pace.

    Do you custody BTC or ZEC?

    No. You send BTC yourself and ZEC is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.

    What if I pick the wrong BTC network?

    Match the network printed on the order (Bitcoin mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
