Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the SOL amount and paste your Zcash payout address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send SOL to that deposit. After confirmations, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Solana confirmations are fast — often under a minute for practical purposes.
- Network outages or congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Use a Solana mainnet address (base58). Do not send SPL tokens unless the order specifies a token mint.
- 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.
Solana — high-speed layer-1
SOL is the native token of Solana — built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large ecosystem of on-chain apps.
Solana deposit tips
Send native SOL on Solana mainnet. Token deposits require the exact asset your order lists.
Keep a small SOL balance for rent-exempt account requirements in some wallets.
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 SOL for ZEC?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Solana → Zcash.
How long is a SOL → ZEC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Solana mainnet and Zcash mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody SOL or ZEC?
No. You send SOL yourself and ZEC is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong SOL network?
Match the network printed on the order (Solana mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
