Networks and wallets for BTC to ZEC
Bitcoin mainnet
Select an on-chain Bitcoin withdrawal when the provider quotes Bitcoin mainnet. Lightning invoices and wrapped BTC on other chains require separate routes.
Zcash mainnet
Check which Zcash address formats the payout provider accepts before copying one from your wallet. A Unified Address can include both shielded and transparent receivers. The receiver used for the payout determines whether that output is shielded.
Check BTC deposit and ZEC payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your ZEC wallet expects.
How to convert BTC to ZEC
- Check that a live provider quotes your BTC deposit network and the ZEC payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of ZEC you would receive after fees, then confirm the receiving address and any memo or tag required for your payout.
- If you go ahead, follow the live order’s deposit instructions. Keep the order ID and the BTC transaction reference, then verify the ZEC payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare BTC to ZEC rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the BTC amount by the rate expressed in ZEC per BTC. Then compare the actual ZEC payout for the same BTC amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Orbit uses a $100 minimum. The estimate on this page uses reference market prices before fees. An executable quote, including any additional route limits, comes from a live settlement provider.
