ADA to ZEC FAQ

Do I need to connect a Cardano wallet?

No. The exchange issues a deposit address on Cardano and you send ADA to it from Lace, Eternl, Yoroi, Ledger or an exchange withdrawal. Nothing is signed in the browser.

How long does ADA to ZEC take?

Usually a few minutes from the moment your ADA deposit confirms. The quote shows an ETA for this exact route before you send anything.

Which Zcash address can receive the ZEC?

Any Zcash address, a transparent t1… address. Payouts go to transparent addresses and are public on-chain. You can shield the ZEC afterwards in your own wallet.

Do I get real ZEC?

Yes. The payout is an ordinary Zcash transaction to your address. It is not a wrapped token on another network and there is no claim step.

What happens if the swap fails after I send ADA?

You enter a Cardano refund address on the order form before the deposit address is issued. If the route cannot complete, your ADA goes back there and the order page shows the refund.
