    Three steps on ToSwap

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

    2. Open the order to see the live quote and 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 typically enough before the ZEC payout 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 type your order and wallet expect.
    • Shielded ZEC payouts may take longer to display depending on wallet support — rescan if needed.

    Bitcoin on ToSwap — liquidity without a login

    BTC is still the deepest on-ramp into crypto. On ToSwap you keep the keys: quote first, broadcast native Bitcoin, collect XMR, ETH, stables, or another indexed payout — anonymous no-KYC, no hosted balance.

    BTC deposit checklist

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

    How long does a BTC deposit take?

    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.

    Zcash on ToSwap — pick t-addr or shielded

    ZEC lets you choose transparent or shielded receives. ToSwap prints the format on the order — mixing them is the usual way a Zcash deposit fails to credit.

    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.

    Deposit checklist

    Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

Zcash transparent vs shielded t-addr vs z-addr — send and receive the type your order expects.

    FAQ for this route

    Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for BTC → ZEC?

    No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Bitcoin to Zcash order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.

    How fast does ZEC usually arrive?

    Many payouts leave within minutes after the Bitcoin mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Bitcoin mainnet or Zcash mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.

    Does ToSwap hold my BTC or ZEC?

    No hosted balance. You broadcast BTC from a wallet you control; ZEC is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.

    What if I send BTC on the wrong network?

    Match Bitcoin mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
