Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the XLM amount and paste your Zcash payout address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send XLM to that deposit. After confirmations, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
- A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
- Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
- 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
Sending XLM on Stellar
Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.
If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.
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 XLM for ZEC?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Stellar → Zcash.
How long is a XLM → ZEC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Stellar mainnet and Zcash mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody XLM or ZEC?
No. You send XLM 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 XLM network?
Match the network printed on the order (Stellar mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
