Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the XRP amount and paste your Zcash payout address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send XRP to that deposit. After confirmations, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- XRP Ledger confirmations are typically very fast — often seconds.
- If your receiving account requires a destination tag, enter it exactly on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance to activate the account.
- 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.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
Destination tags on XRP
Exchanges and custodial wallets often require a destination tag — missing tags delay or complicate crediting.
Self-custody addresses may not need a tag; check what your wallet provider expects.
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 XRP for ZEC?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Ripple → Zcash.
How long is a XRP → ZEC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. XRP Ledger and Zcash mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody XRP or ZEC?
No. You send XRP 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 XRP network?
Match the network printed on the order (XRP Ledger). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
