Networks and wallets for ZEC to BCH
Zcash mainnet
Check whether the deposit instructions use a transparent, shielded or Unified Address. Your Zcash wallet must support the supplied format and a compatible receiver within a Unified Address.
Bitcoin Cash mainnet
Generate a Bitcoin Cash receive address, preferably in the wallet’s CashAddr format where the provider accepts it. Check the asset and network even if a legacy address looks like a Bitcoin address.
Check ZEC deposit and BCH payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your BCH wallet expects.
How to convert ZEC to BCH
- Check that a live provider quotes your ZEC deposit network and the BCH payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of BCH 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 ZEC transaction reference, then verify the BCH payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare ZEC to BCH rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the ZEC amount by the rate expressed in BCH per ZEC. Then compare the actual BCH payout for the same ZEC 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.
