Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much MATIC 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 MATIC to the address on your order — after confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Polygon confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send MATIC on Polygon PoS mainnet only — not Ethereum or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough MATIC for gas.
- 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.
Polygon — low-cost EVM layer-2
MATIC (POL) powers Polygon — fast EVM transfers, low fees, and wide DeFi and bridge liquidity.
MATIC on Polygon mainnet
Use a Polygon PoS wallet for deposits. Do not send MATIC on Ethereum mainnet — wrapped versions are different assets.
Leave enough MATIC in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
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 MATIC to ZEC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Polygon to Zcash swaps.
How long does MATIC to ZEC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Polygon mainnet and Zcash mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is MATIC to ZEC non-custodial?
Yes. You send MATIC from your wallet and receive ZEC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send MATIC on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Polygon mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
