Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the DAI amount and paste the Zcash address that should collect payout on Zcash mainnet.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.
-
Send exactly that DAI amount to the deposit. After ERC-20 on Ethereum confirms, ZEC is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Payout starts after ERC-20 on Ethereum has enough confirmations.
- Use ERC-20 on Ethereum only — the same ticker on another chain is a different asset.
- Read the network badge on the order before you broadcast.
- 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.
Dai on Ethereum
Credit DAI only on ERC-20 on Ethereum. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
Deposit checklist
Open a wallet that can send on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
The wallet network must match the deposit network printed on the order.
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 DAI → ZEC?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Dai to Zcash order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does ZEC usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the ERC-20 on Ethereum deposit confirms. Congestion on ERC-20 on Ethereum or Zcash mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my DAI or ZEC?
No hosted balance. You broadcast DAI from a wallet you control; ZEC is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send DAI on the wrong network?
Match ERC-20 on Ethereum exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
