Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ZEC amount and paste your Stellar payout address on Stellar mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ZEC to that deposit. After confirmations, XLM 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.
- XLM 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ZEC for XLM?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Zcash → Stellar.
How long is a ZEC → XLM order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Zcash mainnet and Stellar mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ZEC or XLM?
No. You send ZEC yourself and XLM 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.
