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 (Base).
How long until ETH arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Zcash mainnet deposit confirmations and Base 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 β 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 β read the swap safety notes first.
