Swap crypto to Zcash (ZEC)
Zcash is a proof-of-work chain that pioneered zero-knowledge (zk-SNARK) shielded transactions: the sender, receiver and amount of a shielded transfer are encrypted on-chain.
You can exchange any of 19 cryptocurrencies for ZEC here: send the coin you have, give a Zcash address, and the ZEC is paid to it once your deposit confirms. No account, no KYC and nothing stored beyond what the swap needs — the usual reason people come to Zcash in the first place.
Zcash addresses: transparent addresses start with t1 or t3; unified (shielded-capable) addresses start with u1. Give a unified (u1…) address to receive into the shielded pool, or a transparent (t1…) address if your wallet does not support shielded receiving.

Getting Zcash: questions
- Which coins can I swap to ZEC?
- 19: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Solana, Monero, USD Coin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, BNB, Tron, XRP, Cardano, Avalanche, Polygon, Toncoin, Polkadot, Shiba Inu, Hyperliquid. Each has its own page with the live rate and what to know when sending it.
- How long does it take to receive ZEC?
- It depends on the coin you send — a Bitcoin deposit takes 10–30 minutes to confirm, Solana or Tron under a minute. Once the deposit is confirmed the ZEC payout is sent; Zcash blocks arrive about 75 seconds, so it is spendable within minutes of that.
- Do I need an account or ID to get ZEC?
- No. There is no sign-up and no verification. A swap is identified by its link, which shows its status without logging in.
- What is the minimum swap into ZEC?
- $100 worth of whatever you send, shown in the widget at the current rate.
- Is receiving Zcash this way private?
- The coin you send is visible on its own ledger like any transaction. Give a unified (u1…) address and the Zcash payout enters the shielded pool, where its amount and destination are encrypted on-chain.

Zcash guides
- Zcash transaction fees and how long a Zcash transaction takes
What a ZEC transaction costs under ZIP 317, how many confirmations to expect and when, why a transaction sits pending, and how to check one.

A unified address bundles a Zcash user's transparent and shielded receivers into one string. Here's what's inside a u1…, and what happens when you send to one.
- Zcash shielded vs transparent addresses, explained
The difference between t-addresses and u-addresses in Zcash, when to use which, and what actually happens on-chain.
- Zcash viewing keys: proving a shielded payment without giving up your keys
A viewing key lets someone read your shielded Zcash activity without being able to spend it. Here's what the different key types reveal, and when you'd hand one over.
- When a service won't accept your Zcash shielded or unified address
Some services accept only t-addresses and reject u1… as invalid. Why that happens, what a unified address does when the sender supports only part of it, and how to shield your ZEC anyway.

Wallet setup, address types, funding, and what to do the first time your ZEC arrives — step by step.

Monero hides every transaction by default; Zcash hides the ones you shield. What each model hides, what it leaks, and which fits which situation.
- How on-chain deposit confirmations actually work
What a confirmation is, why "6 confirmations" means nothing on Ethereum or Solana, and why a transaction being visible is not the same as it being safe to act on.
