Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ARB to send and enter your Zcash address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer ARB to the address on your order — after confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Arbitrum confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ARB on Arbitrum One only — not Ethereum, Optimism, or Base unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Arbitrum-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas if needed.
- 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.
Arbitrum — leading Ethereum rollup
ARB is the governance token of Arbitrum One — an optimistic rollup with EVM compatibility and wide DeFi adoption.
ARB on Arbitrum One
Use an Arbitrum One wallet for deposits. Other chains use different assets even with the same ticker.
Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas on top of the swap amount when required.
Zcash — optional shielded privacy
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.
ZEC receipt troubleshooting
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap ARB to ZEC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Arbitrum to Zcash swaps.
How long does ARB to ZEC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Arbitrum One and Zcash mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is ARB to ZEC non-custodial?
Yes. You send ARB from your wallet and receive ZEC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send ARB on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Arbitrum One for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
