How the swap works
-
Enter the ZEC amount and your Ethereum payout address on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Confirm to open the live quote and the deposit address for this PrivSwap session.
-
Send ZEC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ETH is paid to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Zcash confirmations follow mainnet block times — usually a few minutes — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses are not interchangeable — use the type your order specifies — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet support — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- If ETH 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.
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.
Transparent vs shielded ZEC
Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Ethereum — L1 settlement for privacy routes
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet gas and settlement. On PrivSwap it is a privacy-first send/receive rail — always match mainnet vs L2 on the order badge.
ETH not visible yet?
Check the PrivSwap order for a payout hash first.
Confirm the wallet network matches the order and is synced.
How fast ETH payouts land
After deposit confirm, most ETH payouts land within minutes (~12s blocks).
Payout rail must match the order
- Payouts follow the order badge — not a different EVM chain unless that badge says so.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Fixed vs float for ETH receives
Fixed vs float in the widget changes how the final ETH amount is set.
- Float tracks the market until deposit confirm — useful when mempools are calm.
- Fixed locks the quote briefly — useful when ETH is moving fast.

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