Swapping BTC for BCH is a common move for users who want exposure to a lower-fee payment chain without selling out of the Bitcoin ecosystem entirely. BCH is a direct fork of Bitcoin, so many users treat the route as a way to reallocate between two closely related assets. Zest Exchange lets you make this swap without creating an account, and the rate is shown before you confirm.
BTC is showing meaningful 24-hour price movement and BCH can also shift during the time BTC confirmations are pending, so a fixed rate helps you know exactly how much BCH you will receive before you send. You can still choose fixed or floating in the swap form before creating the order.
Open the exchange widget and select BTC as the send currency and BCH as the receive currency.
Enter the amount of BTC you want to exchange. The widget shows the live rate and minimum amount for this pair.
Paste your BCH wallet address into the recipient field. Select either the native BCH network or BNB Smart Chain and confirm the address format matches that network before proceeding.
Click Exchange and send your BTC to the deposit address shown. Your BCH will arrive once the transaction confirms on-chain.
When sending BTC, you are always using the Bitcoin network — there is only one option on the send side, so make sure your wallet is capable of sending a standard on-chain Bitcoin transaction. On the receive side, BCH is available on both the native BCH network and BNB Smart Chain (BSC), so you must select the network that matches the wallet or platform you intend to receive on. Sending BCH to a BNB Smart Chain address when your wallet expects native BCH, or vice versa, can result in permanent loss of funds. Native BCH addresses typically begin with 'q' in CashAddr format or '1' in legacy format; verify your address format before confirming. BTC confirmation times depend on network conditions and the fee attached to your transaction, so the overall exchange duration is variable. Review the full receive address, the chosen network, and the quoted amount one final time before broadcasting your BTC deposit.

Yes, Zest supports payouts to both the native BCH network and BNB Smart Chain. You must select the correct network in the widget and make sure your receiving wallet or exchange account supports that same network, as funds sent to the wrong network are not recoverable.
BTC has shown notable price swings, and BCH can also move during the confirmation window. A fixed rate locks in the BCH amount displayed at the time you confirm, so you are not exposed to rate changes while your BTC deposit is being confirmed on-chain. Floating rates may yield more BCH if prices move in your favor, but they carry the opposite risk.
Most modern BCH wallets use the CashAddr format, where addresses start with 'q' or the prefix 'bitcoincash:'. Legacy addresses starting with '1' are also valid on the BCH network. Confirm which format your wallet expects and paste the address exactly — do not manually edit it after copying.

The total time depends on how quickly your BTC deposit receives confirmations on the Bitcoin network, which varies with network congestion and the transaction fee you pay. After confirmation, the exchange processes your swap and broadcasts the BCH payout, which also requires on-chain confirmation. There is no fixed duration — network conditions on both chains influence the outcome.
Zest does not require you to create an account or provide personal details for standard swaps. The exchange is non-custodial, meaning your funds are not held on the platform. As with all blockchain transactions, the transfers themselves are recorded on public ledgers, and in some circumstances additional checks may apply.
