    How the swap works

    1. Enter the BTC amount and paste your Zcash receive address β€” 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.

    Check these before you send

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

    Bitcoin β€” the base layer of crypto

    Since 2009 Bitcoin has been the reference asset β€” deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the usual starting point for cross-chain routes.

    BTC deposit checklist

    • Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
    • Leave enough for a network fee β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” shielded privacy is optional

    ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses β€” use 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 β€” 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.

    No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Bitcoin to Zcash.
