How the swap works
-
Type the MATIC 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 MATIC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Polygon confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send MATIC on Polygon PoS mainnet only — not Ethereum or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough MATIC for gas.
- 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.
Polygon — low-cost EVM layer-2
MATIC (POL) powers Polygon — fast EVM transfers, low fees, and wide DeFi and bridge liquidity.
MATIC on Polygon mainnet
Use a Polygon PoS wallet for deposits. Do not send MATIC on Ethereum mainnet — wrapped versions are different assets.
Leave enough MATIC in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Zcash — shielded privacy is optional
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — 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 — 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 MATIC to ZEC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Polygon to Zcash.
How long until ZEC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Polygon mainnet deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold MATIC or ZEC for me?
No. You send MATIC from a wallet you control and ZEC is paid to the address you provide — PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send MATIC on the wrong chain?
Use Polygon mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
