Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the XMR amount and paste your Zcash receive address — match transparent or shielded format to your wallet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the Monero deposit address.
-
Send XMR on Monero mainnet. After confirmations, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Monero requires confirmations before payout — allow your wallet to finish syncing after receipt.
- Monero hides amounts on-chain by default; ZEC may use transparent or shielded addresses — pick the type your wallet supports.
- Use a fresh Monero subaddress for each swap. Shielded ZEC may take longer to appear in some wallets.
- Both sides are privacy-focused chains — double-check address formats before sending.
Monero — private by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.
Monero wallet sync
An out-of-sync wallet may not display incoming funds even after the order shows a payout.
Compare your wallet block height with a public Monero explorer before opening a support ticket.
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 XMR for ZEC?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Monero → Zcash.
How long is a XMR → ZEC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Monero mainnet and Zcash mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody XMR or ZEC?
No. You send XMR 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 XMR network?
Match the network printed on the order (Monero mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
