Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much SOL 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 SOL to the address on your order — after confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Solana confirmations are fast — often under a minute for practical purposes.
- Network outages or congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Use a Solana mainnet address (base58). Do not send SPL tokens unless the order specifies a token mint.
- 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.
Solana — high-speed layer-1
SOL is the native token of Solana — built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large ecosystem of on-chain apps.
Solana deposit tips
Send native SOL on Solana mainnet. Token deposits require the exact asset your order lists.
Keep a small SOL balance for rent-exempt account requirements in some wallets.
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 SOL to ZEC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Solana to Zcash swaps.
How long does SOL to ZEC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Solana mainnet and Zcash mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is SOL to ZEC non-custodial?
Yes. You send SOL from your wallet and receive ZEC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send SOL on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Solana mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
