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 mainnet

How to convert ZEC to BTC
- Check that a live provider quotes your ZEC deposit network and the BTC payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of BTC 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 BTC payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare ZEC to BTC rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the ZEC amount by the rate expressed in BTC per ZEC. Then compare the actual BTC payout for the same ZEC amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
