    Exchange in 3 steps

    1. Choose how much ADA to send and enter your Zcash address on Zcash mainnet.

    2. Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.

    3. Transfer ADA to the address on your order — after confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet automatically.

    What do you need to know?

    • Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
    • Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
    • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
    • ZEC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.

    Cardano — research-driven layer-1

    Sending ADA

    Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.

    You receive

    Zcash — optional shielded privacy

    ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.

    Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed.

    Transparent vs shielded payouts

    Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable.

    • Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order.
    • Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software.
    • If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first.
