Zcash to Ethereum (Base)

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

    Three steps on ToSwap

    1. Set the ZEC amount and paste the Ethereum (Base) address that should collect payout on Base mainnet.

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

    3. 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.

    You receive

    ETH on Base — Coinbase L2

    Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.

    Base ETH not received?

    Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.

    Base ETH payout tips

    • Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
    • Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
    • Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

    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 (Base) 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 Base 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.
