USDC on Stellarto
ZEC
STELLAR → ZCASH · NO WALLET CONNECTION · NO SIGN-UP · NO KYC
No wallet connection is needed to swap USDC on Stellar for ZEC. Send USDC once from Lobstr, Freighter, Ledger or an exchange withdrawal, and ZEC lands at any Zcash address you choose. Stellar deposits are matched by memo. The order page shows a memo next to the deposit address, and you must include both.

USDC to ZEC FAQ
Do I need to connect a Stellar wallet?
No. The exchange issues a deposit address on Stellar and you send USDC to it from Lobstr, Freighter, Ledger or an exchange withdrawal. Nothing is signed in the browser.
How long does USDC on Stellar to ZEC take?
Usually a few minutes from the moment your USDC 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 USDC?
You enter a Stellar refund address on the order form before the deposit address is issued. If the route cannot complete, your USDC goes back there and the order page shows the refund.
