Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the OP 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 OP amount to the deposit. After Optimism mainnet confirms, ZEC is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Optimism confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send OP on Optimism mainnet only — not Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Optimism-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas if sending ERC-20 tokens.
- 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.
Optimism — Ethereum L2 with low fees
OP is the governance token of Optimism — an Ethereum rollup with fast, low-cost transfers and deep Superchain liquidity.
OP on Optimism mainnet
Use an Optimism wallet for deposits. L1 Ethereum or other L2 sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas when moving OP or other tokens.
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 OP → ZEC?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Optimism to Zcash order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does ZEC usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Optimism mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Optimism mainnet or Zcash mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my OP or ZEC?
No hosted balance. You broadcast OP from a wallet you control; ZEC is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send OP on the wrong network?
Match Optimism mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
