About Bitcoin (BTC)
The deepest liquidity in crypto — and the most transparent ledger you can touch.
- · Every BTC transaction is permanently public: amount, addresses, and the full graph of what each address did before and after.
- · Deposit confirmations take ~20 minutes (2 blocks is the common swap threshold); fees swing with mempool congestion.
- · Address reuse is the #1 self-deanonymization habit — a fresh address per receipt is table stakes.
About Zcash (ZEC)
Optional privacy done with zero-knowledge proofs — shielded pools hide sender, receiver and amount.
- · Two address types: transparent (t-) works like Bitcoin; shielded (z-/unified u-) encrypts everything with zk-SNARKs. Privacy only holds if you stay inside the shielded pool.
- · Block time ~75 seconds; expect roughly 10-12 minutes for deposit confirmations on swaps.
- · Unified addresses (UA) let the wallet auto-pick the best receiver type — the practical default for new users.
