Three steps on ToSwap
-
Enter the ZEC amount and paste your Bitcoin mainnet receive address.
-
Open the order to see the live quote and the Zcash deposit address.
-
Send ZEC on Zcash mainnet. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Zcash deposits follow mainnet block times — usually a few minutes before the swap continues.
- Confirm whether the order expects transparent or shielded ZEC before you broadcast — the wrong type will fail.
- BTC payouts go to the Bitcoin address you provide — Legacy, SegWit, and Taproot work when entered correctly.
- Bitcoin payout speed follows mempool load after your ZEC deposit confirms.
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.
Transparent vs shielded ZEC
Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode.
If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting.
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.
When can I spend the BTC payout?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
How to verify a BTC payout
- Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
- Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
- Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

FAQ for this route
Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for ZEC → BTC?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Zcash to Bitcoin order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does BTC usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Zcash mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Zcash mainnet or Bitcoin mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my ZEC or BTC?
No hosted balance. You broadcast ZEC from a wallet you control; BTC is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send ZEC on the wrong network?
Match Zcash mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
