Swap Cardano → Zcash (no KYC)

A Web3 no-KYC ADA-to-ZEC lane: the live number appears first, you fund from a wallet you control, and payout is automatic on Zcash mainnet. Nothing sits under a Web3Swap username between the two legs.

    Three steps on Web3Swap

    1. Enter the ADA size and paste the Zcash payout address for Zcash mainnet on this Web3Swap ticket.

    2. Confirm Exchange to lock the live Web3Swap quote and reveal this ticket’s deposit details.

    3. Broadcast exactly that ADA amount to the deposit. After Cardano mainnet confirms, ZEC is paid to your wallet.

    Before you broadcast

    • Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
    • Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
    • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
    • If ZEC is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the ticket. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — Web3Swap has no login that lists expired orders.
    You send

    Cardano tickets — ADA address format

    ADA is Cardano’s native proof-of-stake asset. On Web3Swap, paste a mainnet address your wallet owns and broadcast only ADA — wrong-network sends will not credit the ticket.

    Sending ADA

    Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.

    Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.

    You receive

    Zcash tickets — transparent vs shielded

    Zcash Web3Swap tickets lock either a transparent or shielded receive format on-screen. Sending the other type is the most common reason ZEC never credits.

    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.

    Deposit checklist

    Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

    FAQ for this route

    Do I need KYC or a Web3Swap login for ADA → ZEC?

    No. A standard Cardano → Zcash ticket on Web3Swap skips signup and ID upload. You stay self-custodial on both legs.

    How soon does ZEC usually arrive?

    After the Cardano mainnet deposit is final, many payouts leave within minutes. Congestion on Cardano mainnet or Zcash mainnet can stretch that — mempools and fees set the clock, not a compliance hold.

    Does Web3Swap custody my ADA or ZEC?

    No. You broadcast ADA from a wallet you control; ZEC pays only to the address you paste. Nothing sits as a named Web3Swap balance.

    What if I send ADA on the wrong rail?

    Match Cardano mainnet exactly as printed on the Web3Swap ticket badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — verify before you broadcast.
