BTC → ZEC routing details
Monivo requests quotes from every connected liquidity provider for this route and shows the one that pays out the most ZEC. The amount shown is an estimate that depends on the rate type you pick and the provider's own terms; it is confirmed in the widget above before you send anything, with zero added fees on top of the rate you see. The selected provider receives your deposit and settles the payout.
| Detail | You send — BTC | You receive — ZEC |
|---|---|---|
| Supported networks |
|
|
| Confirmations | 1–2 confirmations (~10–20 minutes) | Set by the provider for the network you select |
| Typical processing | Indicative: usually 10–30 minutes end to end, provider-dependent | Provider-dependent once your deposit confirms |
| Custody | Sent from your own BTC wallet to a one-time deposit address. | Paid straight to the Zcash address you provide — Monivo never holds funds. |
Fixed rate or floating rate for BTC → ZEC?
Fixed rate
The ZEC amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your BTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote as long as you send on time and within the quoted limits. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.
Floating rate
The swap executes at the market rate when your BTC deposit lands. It can pay out more ZEC than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.
Why swap BTC to ZEC on Monivo
- Aggregated rate comparison. Monivo compares quotes across multiple providers so your ZEC payout reflects the strongest quote Monivo found at that moment — with zero added fees, so you can compare elsewhere before confirming.
- Non-custodial. Monivo never holds your BTC or ZEC. The Zcash is sent straight to the wallet address you provide.
- No account. No sign-up and no email for standard BTC/ZEC swaps; the executing provider may still request verification.
- Fixed or floating rate. Lock the BTC/ZEC rate at quote time, or use the market rate at execution.
Verify the destination address and network before confirming — crypto transfers are irreversible.
Fees and pricing
Monivo does not add a separate platform fee. The quoted receive amount reflects the executing provider's pricing and applicable payout costs. Your sending wallet or exchange may charge its own network or withdrawal fee. The amount shown is an estimate; fixed and floating quotes follow the provider's terms.
Monivo does not add a separate platform fee. Some partner quotes include a small affiliate margin that is retained by Monivo as a referral commission; this margin is included in the rate shown, not added on top. Provider spreads and applicable network costs are also reflected in the quoted amount.
Network fees are set by the blockchain, not by Monivo. No account, no subscription and no withdrawal charge. Live support is available 24/7.
