Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XRP 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 XRP to the address on your order — after confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- XRP Ledger confirmations are typically very fast — often seconds.
- If your receiving account requires a destination tag, enter it exactly on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance to activate the account.
- 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.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
Destination tags on XRP
Exchanges and custodial wallets often require a destination tag — missing tags delay or complicate crediting.
Self-custody addresses may not need a tag; check what your wallet provider expects.
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 XRP to ZEC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Ripple to Zcash swaps.
How long does XRP to ZEC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on XRP Ledger and Zcash mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is XRP to ZEC non-custodial?
Yes. You send XRP from your wallet and receive ZEC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send XRP on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (XRP Ledger for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
