Three steps on Web3Swap
-
Enter the ZEC size and paste the Ethereum (Base) payout address for Base mainnet on this Web3Swap ticket.
-
Confirm Exchange to lock the live Web3Swap quote and reveal this ticket’s deposit details.
-
Broadcast exactly that ZEC amount to the deposit. After Zcash mainnet confirms, 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.
- If ETH 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.
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.
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.
Base ETH tickets — Coinbase L2 rail
Native ETH on Base is not Ethereum L1. Web3Swap Base tickets need a Base wallet — low fees, fast finality, still no hosted balance.
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.
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 ZEC → ETH?
No. A standard Zcash → Ethereum (Base) ticket on Web3Swap skips signup and ID upload. You stay self-custodial on both legs.
How soon does ETH usually arrive?
After the Zcash mainnet deposit is final, many payouts leave within minutes. Congestion on Zcash mainnet or Base mainnet can stretch that — mempools and fees set the clock, not a compliance hold.
Does Web3Swap custody my ZEC or ETH?
No. You broadcast ZEC from a wallet you control; ETH pays only to the address you paste. Nothing sits as a named Web3Swap balance.
What if I send ZEC on the wrong rail?
Match Zcash mainnet exactly as printed on the Web3Swap ticket badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — verify before you broadcast.
