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