Start with your Zcash wallet
From a Zcash wallet to trading on BNB Chain — and back to ZEC — in six steps.
- 01Zcash
Have a Zcash wallet
Any Zcash wallet that can send ZEC and show a transparent (t1…) receiving address works — for example Zashi / Zodl, YWallet, or a Ledger with a Zcash-capable app.
You can send from a shielded balance; the wallet handles it. Keep a little extra ZEC for the Zcash network fee.
- 02Zcash
Find your transparent address for refunds
NEAR Intents 1Click can only refund to a transparent Zcash address. In your wallet, open “Receive” and pick the transparent address (it starts with t1 or t3).
Optionally also copy a unified (u1…) or Sapling (zs1…) address — Sprout’s forwarder can pay shielded cash-outs there.
- 03Passkey
Create your Sprout Account (passkey)
Create your account →Click “Start with Zcash”, paste your t-address, and create a passkey with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello or a security key. Your account address on BNB Chain is derived from the passkey and exists right away.
Your passkey is the only key to your Sprout account — there is no recovery. Prefer a synced passkey (iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden).
Already have a passkey from another device? Choose “I already have a Sprout passkey”.
- 04ZEC → BNB Chain
Fund it with ZEC
Deposit ZEC →Choose Deposit ZEC, enter an amount, and Sprout fetches a 1Click quote with a one-time Zcash deposit address. Send exactly that amount, in one transaction, right away — the address expires after ~80 minutes.
Compare the full address with what your wallet shows. Never reuse an old deposit address or copy one from transaction history.
It usually lands in about 10 minutes. Your account holds BNB, and Sprout shows everything in ZEC at the live rate.
- 05BNB Chain
Buy, launch, grow the grove
Browse coins →Trade and launch coins with prices in ZEC. You confirm each action with your passkey; Sprout’s relayer submits it and is repaid only the gas, in BNB, inside the same transaction.
Every coin’s 2% tax feeds the $SPROUT/ZEC grove, buys and burns $SPROUT, and pays the deployer’s choice in ZEC.
- 06BNB Chain → ZEC
Cash out to Zcash
Send ZEC out →When you sell, choose “Native ZEC to my Zcash wallet”: the sale and the 1Click deposit happen in the same transaction, so the BNB only moves if the trade succeeds.
Prefer shielded? Pick “Shielded ZEC” and Sprout’s forwarder sends it on to your unified or Sapling address with a stamp memo (≤ 100 ZEC per payout).
You can also send any balance out at any time from Move ZEC.
