Swap Cardano → Zcash (no KYC)

A fast no-KYC ADA-to-ZEC path: the live number is shown first, you fund the deposit from a wallet you control, and payout is automatic on Zcash mainnet. Nothing sits in a ToSwap balance between the two legs.

    Three steps on ToSwap

    1. Set the ADA amount and paste the Zcash address that should collect payout on Zcash mainnet.

    2. Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.

    3. Send exactly that ADA amount to the deposit. After Cardano mainnet confirms, ZEC is pushed to your wallet.

    Before you broadcast

    • Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
    • Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
    • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
    • If ZEC is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the order status. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — ToSwap has no login that can reopen expired pages.

    Cardano — research-driven layer-1

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

    Sending ADA

    Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.

    Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.

    You receive

    Zcash on ToSwap — pick t-addr or shielded

    ZEC lets you choose transparent or shielded receives. ToSwap prints the format on the order — mixing them is the usual way a Zcash deposit fails to credit.

    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.

    Deposit checklist

    Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

    FAQ for this route

    Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for ADA → ZEC?

    No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Cardano to Zcash order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.

    How fast does ZEC usually arrive?

    Many payouts leave within minutes after the Cardano mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Cardano mainnet or Zcash mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.

    Does ToSwap hold my ADA or ZEC?

    No hosted balance. You broadcast ADA from a wallet you control; ZEC is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.

    What if I send ADA on the wrong network?

    Match Cardano mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
