Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the ZEC amount and paste the Ethereum address that should collect payout on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.
-
Send exactly that ZEC amount to the deposit. After Zcash mainnet confirms, ETH is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- 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.
- If ETH 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.
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.
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.
Ethereum on ToSwap — L1 gas, wallet-to-wallet
ETH settles smart contracts and pays L1 gas. ToSwap routes mainnet ETH without signup: match the L1 badge, leave gas above the swap amount, receive at the address you paste.
ETH payout not showing?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
ETH payout timing
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
ETH must land on the listed chain
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.
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 ZEC → ETH?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Zcash to Ethereum order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does ETH usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Zcash mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Zcash mainnet or Ethereum mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my ZEC or ETH?
No hosted balance. You broadcast ZEC from a wallet you control; ETH is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send ZEC on the wrong network?
Match Zcash mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
