Tunnel in 3 steps

  1. Set the ZEC amount and paste your Bitcoin mainnet receive address.

  2. Create the order to lock the quote and see the Zcash deposit address.

  3. Send ZEC on Zcash mainnet. After confirmations, BTC is paid to your wallet.

Before you broadcast

  • Zcash deposits follow mainnet block times — usually a few minutes before the swap proceeds.
  • Confirm whether your order expects transparent or shielded ZEC before you broadcast — wrong address types fail.
  • BTC payouts go to the Bitcoin address you provide — Legacy, SegWit, and Taproot formats are supported when entered correctly.
  • Bitcoin payout speed depends on mempool congestion after your ZEC deposit confirms.
You send

Zcash — optional shielded privacy

ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.

Transparent vs shielded ZEC

Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode.

If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting.

You receive

Bitcoin — the original digital asset

Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.

When is my BTC spendable?

After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.

Checking your BTC payout

  • Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
  • Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
  • Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.
