Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ZEC amount and paste your Ethereum (Base) payout address on Base mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ZEC to that deposit. After confirmations, ETH is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Zcash confirmations follow mainnet block times — usually a few minutes.
- Transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses are not interchangeable — use the type your order specifies.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet support.
- ETH not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Zcash — optional shielded privacy
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.
Transparent vs shielded ZEC
Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode.
If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

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