How the swap works
-
Enter the ZEC amount and your Stacks payout address on Stacks mainnet.
-
Confirm to open the live quote and the deposit address for this PrivSwap session.
-
Send ZEC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, STX 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 STX 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.
Stacks
Credit STX only on Stacks mainnet. A send on any other rail will not credit this PrivSwap order.
When STX arrives
Set your wallet to Stacks mainnet.
If the order already lists a payout tx, wait a few minutes and resync before messaging PrivSwap support.

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