Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the OP amount and paste your Zcash payout address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send OP to that deposit. After confirmations, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Optimism confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send OP on Optimism mainnet only — not Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Optimism-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas if sending ERC-20 tokens.
- 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.
Optimism — Ethereum L2 with low fees
OP is the governance token of Optimism — an Ethereum rollup with fast, low-cost transfers and deep Superchain liquidity.
OP on Optimism mainnet
Use an Optimism wallet for deposits. L1 Ethereum or other L2 sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas when moving OP or other tokens.
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 OP for ZEC?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Optimism → Zcash.
How long is a OP → ZEC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Optimism mainnet and Zcash mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody OP or ZEC?
No. You send OP 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 OP network?
Match the network printed on the order (Optimism mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
