Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency with optional privacy: a transfer can be sent in the open, as with bitcoin, or with the sender, recipient and amount hidden by zero-knowledge proofs. The network has run since 2016, with a block roughly every 75 seconds.

Zcash is often bought through a swap to get the coins straight into your own wallet and move them into the shielded pool: exchanges mostly send and accept ZEC on transparent t1 addresses.

Zcash has several kinds of addresses, and for a swap that is what matters most. Transparent ones start with t1 or t3, and transfers to them are visible on the blockchain, as with bitcoin. Shielded Sapling addresses start with zs, unified addresses with u1: a unified address bundles several receivers at once, including the private Orchard pool.

Many services and exchanges accept and send ZEC only to transparent addresses. Wallets with shielded transfers often show a unified u1 address by default. If the form does not accept it, take a transparent t1 address from the same wallet: the wallet can later move the coins that arrive there into the shielded pool.

You may also see addresses starting with tex1 — transparent addresses that accept funds only from transparent addresses (the ZIP 320 standard). Some exchanges issue them for deposits. A wallet that knows the format will route the transfer through a transparent address itself; an older wallet will simply reject a tex1 address.

A Zcash block comes roughly every 75 seconds. Recipients usually wait for several confirmations, so crediting ZEC takes from a few minutes to half an hour. A shielded balance appears in the wallet after it syncs; if the wallet has not been opened for a while, that can take some time.

Besides its own network, ZEC exists as a token on other blockchains — they are listed further down the page. Everything above about t1, zs and u1 addresses applies to the Zcash network only: a ZEC token needs an address on the network you picked in the form.

The receiving address must be on the same network you chose in the form. An address from another network won't work — the transfer will fail.

Support

No. Registration, verification and documents are not required — all you need is the wallet address the funds will arrive at.

Available networks: Zcash, NEAR Protocol, Solana, Starknet, Aptos, BNB Smart Chain. The network is chosen in the exchange form — make sure the recipient address belongs to the same one.

The safest choice is a transparent Zcash address starting with t1 or t3: everyone accepts it. A unified u1 or shielded zs address works only if the form accepts it; if not, take a transparent address from the same wallet. If the form is set to another network where ZEC exists as a token, you need a wallet address on that network.

A Zcash block comes roughly every 75 seconds, and recipients usually wait for several confirmations: crediting ZEC takes from a few minutes to half an hour. The rest depends on the selected route.

Yes, the wallet will move the coins from the shielded pool to the recipient's transparent address itself. The exception is tex1 addresses: they accept funds only from a transparent address, and a wallet without ZIP 320 support will not accept such an address.

No, a ZEC transfer needs only the address. Shielded transfers have a field for an encrypted note, but a swap does not need it.
