How the swap works
-
Enter the AVAX amount and your Zcash payout address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Confirm to open the live quote and the deposit address for this PrivSwap session.
-
Send AVAX to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Avalanche C-Chain confirmations are usually very fast — often under a minute.
- Send AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain only — not X-Chain or P-Chain unless your order specifies them — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Use a C-Chain compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough AVAX for gas — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- If ZEC is not visible yet, wait a few minutes and resync the wallet. When the order already lists a payout tx, message support with your Exchange ID.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Use an Avalanche C-Chain wallet for deposits. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses are not interchangeable with C-Chain — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Leave enough AVAX in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Zcash — transparent or shielded on purpose
ZEC offers t- and z-addresses. On PrivSwap, match the exact format the order shows — the two types are not interchangeable.
ZEC receipt troubleshooting
Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Transparent vs shielded payouts
Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first — privacy-first on PrivSwap.

Privacy swap FAQ
Does AVAX to ZEC require KYC or an account?
No. PrivSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Avalanche to Zcash.
How long until ZEC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Avalanche C-Chain deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold AVAX or ZEC for me?
No. You send AVAX from a wallet you control and ZEC is paid to the address you provide — PrivSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send AVAX on the wrong chain?
Use Avalanche C-Chain exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
