Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the MATIC amount and paste your Zcash payout address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send MATIC to that deposit. After confirmations, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Polygon confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send MATIC on Polygon PoS mainnet only — not Ethereum or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough MATIC for gas.
- ZEC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Polygon — low-cost EVM layer-2
MATIC (POL) powers Polygon — fast EVM transfers, low fees, and wide DeFi and bridge liquidity.
MATIC on Polygon mainnet
Use a Polygon PoS wallet for deposits. Do not send MATIC on Ethereum mainnet — wrapped versions are different assets.
Leave enough MATIC in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Zcash — optional shielded privacy
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade MATIC for ZEC?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Polygon → Zcash.
How long is a MATIC → ZEC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Polygon mainnet and Zcash mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody MATIC or ZEC?
No. You send MATIC yourself and ZEC is paid to the address you enter — GetSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong MATIC network?
Match the network printed on the order (Polygon mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
