Swap USD Coin → Zcash (no KYC)

USDC → ZEC (Zcash mainnet): a privacy-first, non-custodial lane with fees visible before you broadcast. After USD Coin confirms on ERC-20 on Ethereum, ToSwap pays ZEC out — typically within minutes, not hours.

    Three steps on ToSwap

    1. Set the USDC 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 USDC amount to the deposit. After ERC-20 on Ethereum confirms, ZEC is pushed to your wallet.

    Before you broadcast

    • ERC-20 USDC follows Ethereum confirmation times.
    • Send USDC on Ethereum mainnet only for this route — not Polygon, Base, or Solana USDC.
    • Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending USDC.
    • 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.

    USDC on ToSwap — ERC-20 unless stated

    USD Coin on Ethereum mainnet is the default on this hub. A Solana or L2 USDC send will not credit an ERC-20 deposit — match the mint before you broadcast.

    USDC on Ethereum mainnet

    Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. L2 USDC is a different asset on-chain.

    Gas fees apply to token transfers — ensure sufficient ETH balance.

    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 USDC → ZEC?

    No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard USD Coin 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 USDC or ZEC?

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

    What if I send USDC 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.
