How it works
- 01
Choose BTC to ZEC and an amount. The quote shows the rate, fees, the minimum you receive, and the provider limits.

Enter your ZEC receiving address and a refund address you control. Provide a Zcash address of the type the swap accepts.
- 03
Send the exact amount to the one-time deposit address. Send on the Bitcoin network. Confirmation time depends on the fee you pay and how busy the network is.
- 04
Follow the swap to settlement on your order page. Any refund is shown there.
Before you send
- Use the exact amount and network in the quote.
- Do not reuse a deposit address. Each one belongs to a single swap and quote.
- Never share a seed phrase. No swap needs it.
- Read how a deposit address works if this is your first swap.
Questions
- How do I swap BTC to ZEC without a wallet?
- Enter the amount and your ZEC receiving address, then send BTC to the one-time deposit address you are given. You do not connect a wallet. The provider performs the swap and pays ZEC to your address.
- Does Sense Swap hold my BTC or ZEC?
- No. Sense Swap is non-custodial. Funds move from your wallet to a one-time deposit address for the swap, and the result goes to the address you provide.
- What are the minimum and maximum amounts for BTC to ZEC?
- They depend on the provider and change over time. The quote shows the limits before you send, and an amount outside them will not be accepted.
- What happens if the swap cannot complete?
- If a provider cannot complete a swap, it refunds to the refund address you supplied. The refund appears in your order timeline.
