How the swap works
-
Enter the MATIC amount and your Zcash payout address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Confirm to open the live quote and the deposit address for this PrivSwap session.
-
Send MATIC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Polygon confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Send MATIC on Polygon PoS mainnet only — not Ethereum or other L2s unless your order says otherwise — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough MATIC 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.
Polygon — low-cost EVM layer-2
MATIC (POL) powers Polygon — fast EVM transfers, low fees, and wide DeFi and bridge liquidity — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
MATIC on Polygon mainnet
Use a Polygon PoS wallet for deposits. Do not send MATIC on Ethereum mainnet — wrapped versions are different assets — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Leave enough MATIC 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 MATIC to ZEC require KYC or an account?
No. PrivSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Polygon to Zcash.
How long until ZEC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Polygon mainnet deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold MATIC or ZEC for me?
No. You send MATIC 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 MATIC on the wrong chain?
Use Polygon mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
