How the swap works
-
Type the ARB amount and paste your Zcash payout address on Zcash mainnet.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast ARB to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Arbitrum confirmations are usually fast β often within a minute.
- Send ARB on Arbitrum One only β not Ethereum, Optimism, or Base unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Arbitrum-compatible wallet and address (0xβ¦). Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas if needed.
- If ZEC has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
Arbitrum β leading Ethereum rollup
ARB is the governance token of Arbitrum One β an optimistic rollup with EVM compatibility and wide DeFi adoption.
ARB on Arbitrum One
Use an Arbitrum One wallet for deposits. Other chains use different assets even with the same ticker.
Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas on top of the swap amount when required.
Zcash β shielded privacy is optional
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses β use 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 β 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
Does ARB to ZEC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Arbitrum to Zcash.
How long until ZEC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Arbitrum One deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ARB or ZEC for me?
No. You send ARB from a wallet you control and ZEC is paid to the address you provide β PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send ARB on the wrong chain?
Use Arbitrum One exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
