    Three steps on Web3Swap

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

    2. Confirm the Web3Swap ticket to see the live quote and BTC deposit details.

    3. Broadcast BTC on Bitcoin mainnet. After confirmation, ZEC pays out to your wallet.

    Before you broadcast

    • One Bitcoin confirmation is typically enough before Web3Swap starts the ZEC payout.
    • 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 tickets on Web3Swap — keep the keys

    Bitcoin is still the deepest funding rail. Web3Swap keeps you self-custodial end to end: check the quote, broadcast native BTC, then receive XMR, ETH, stables, or another indexed asset — never a 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 tickets — transparent vs shielded

    Zcash Web3Swap tickets lock either a transparent or shielded receive format on-screen. Sending the other type is the most common reason ZEC never credits.

    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.

    Bitcoin address formats compared Legacy, SegWit, and Taproot — pick the format your wallet supports. Why is my Bitcoin tx not confirming? Mempool congestion, low fees, and how to speed up inclusion. How many confirmations you need How many blocks exchanges wait for before releasing your payout. Zcash transparent vs shielded t-addr vs z-addr — send and receive the type your order expects.

    FAQ for this route

    Do I need KYC or a Web3Swap login for BTC → ZEC?

    No. A standard Bitcoin → Zcash ticket on Web3Swap skips signup and ID upload. You stay self-custodial on both legs.

    How soon does ZEC usually arrive?

    After the Bitcoin mainnet deposit is final, many payouts leave within minutes. Congestion on Bitcoin mainnet or Zcash mainnet can stretch that — mempools and fees set the clock, not a compliance hold.

    Does Web3Swap custody my BTC or ZEC?

    No. You broadcast BTC from a wallet you control; ZEC pays only to the address you paste. Nothing sits as a named Web3Swap balance.

    What if I send BTC on the wrong rail?

    Match Bitcoin mainnet exactly as printed on the Web3Swap ticket badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — verify before you broadcast.
