Your first ZEC swap: every step explained

  1. Choose a pair and amount

    Open the app, select ZEC as the sending coin and review the receive amount, fees and quote expiry.

  2. Check both ends

    Enter your destination wallet address. Match its network and check which Zcash address formats the deposit supports.

  3. Send ZEC and track delivery

    Send the requested amount to the order’s deposit address. The service releases the asset after your Zcash transaction confirms and the order’s checks complete.

How to swap ZEC from a shielded wallet

Match the deposit’s address format

Zcash has transparent t-addresses and shielded z-addresses. Unified addresses can combine receiver types. Follow the order’s accepted formats; shielded wallet support alone does not establish deposit compatibility.

Know what remains public

Zcash uses zk-SNARKs to verify shielded transactions without exposing their private details. Transparent addresses reveal activity publicly. Swapping into BTC, USDT or ETH does not carry Zcash’s shielded privacy onto the receiving network.

ZEC swap taking too long? How to track it

Address rejected

Check the full address and accepted Zcash format. For USDT or ETH payouts, verify the destination network before creating the order again.

ZEC swap still pending

Find your transaction ID in the sending wallet and check its confirmations. If the deposit is confirmed but the order has stalled, contact the service with the order ID and transaction ID.

Quote expired or deposit too small

Refresh the quote before sending. Check the minimum after any wallet withdrawal fee. If you already sent, use the existing order’s support route before sending more.

Check your transaction: track Zcash confirmations on Blockchair ↗. Shielded transaction details remain private.
