How the swap works
-
Enter the ZEC amount and your Litecoin payout address on Litecoin mainnet.
-
Confirm to open the live quote and the deposit address for this PrivSwap session.
-
Send ZEC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, LTC is paid to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Zcash confirmations follow mainnet block times β usually a few minutes β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses are not interchangeable β use the type your order specifies β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet support β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- If LTC 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 β transparent or shielded on purpose
ZEC offers t- and z-addresses. On PrivSwap, match the exact format the order shows β the two types are not interchangeable.
Transparent vs shielded ZEC
Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting β privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Litecoin β Bitcoin's first fork
Litecoin (LTC) began in 2011 as Charlie Leeβs Bitcoin fork, with early input from other developers including a former Google engineer. It keeps peer-to-peer transfers but targets faster blocks and lower everyday fees. Traders often call it "digital silver."
LTC arrival timing
Usually within several blocks after deposit confirm β often under 15 minutes when the network is calm.
Troubleshoot an LTC payout
- Verify the LTC format matches what your wallet expects.
- Check a Litecoin explorer with the payout hash from the PrivSwap order.
- Resync if the tx is confirmed on-chain but the balance has not moved.

Privacy swap FAQ
Does ZEC to LTC require KYC or an account?
No. PrivSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Zcash to Litecoin.
How long until LTC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Zcash mainnet deposit confirmations and Litecoin mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ZEC or LTC for me?
No. You send ZEC from a wallet you control and LTC 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.
