How the swap works
-
Enter the ZEC amount and paste your Bitcoin mainnet receive address — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
-
Open the order to see the live quote and the Zcash deposit address — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
-
Send ZEC on Zcash mainnet. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Check these before you send
- Zcash deposits follow mainnet block times — usually a few minutes before the swap continues — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Confirm whether the order expects transparent or shielded ZEC before you send — the wrong type will fail.
- BTC payouts go to the Bitcoin address you provide — Legacy, SegWit, and Taproot work when entered correctly — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Bitcoin payout speed follows mempool load after your ZEC deposit confirms — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Zcash — transparent or shielded on purpose
ZEC offers t- and z-addresses. On PrivSwap, match the exact format the order shows — the two types are not interchangeable.
Transparent vs shielded ZEC
Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Bitcoin — privacy-wallet liquidity hub
Bitcoin remains the deepest funding asset for anonymous NO-KYC routes on PrivSwap — liquid, widely held, and a common first leg into XMR, ETH, and stables.
When is payout BTC spendable?
Spendability follows the confirmations listed on the PrivSwap order — often one or more blocks, depending on the route.
Verify a BTC payout
- From the PrivSwap order, copy the payout tx hash into a Bitcoin explorer.
- Confirm the destination matches your wallet character-for-character, including format.
- Most self-custody wallets show BTC after one confirmation; some custodial venues wait longer.

Privacy swap FAQ
Does ZEC to BTC require KYC or an account?
No. PrivSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Zcash to Bitcoin.
How long until BTC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Zcash mainnet deposit confirmations and Bitcoin mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ZEC or BTC for me?
No. You send ZEC from a wallet you control and BTC is paid to the address you provide — PrivSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send ZEC on the wrong chain?
Use Zcash mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
