    Exchange in 3 steps

    1. Choose how much ZEC to send and enter your Cardano address on Cardano mainnet.

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

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

    What do you need to know?

    • Zcash confirmations follow mainnet block times — usually a few minutes.
    • Transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses are not interchangeable — use the type your order specifies.
    • Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet support.
    • ADA not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.

    Zcash — optional shielded privacy

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

    Transparent vs shielded ZEC

    Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode.

    If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting.

    You receive

    Cardano — research-driven layer-1

    ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.

    ADA payout delays

    Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.

    When will ADA arrive?

    Cardano block times are around 20 seconds — payouts typically follow within several blocks.

    • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
    • Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
    • Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.
