How the swap works
-
Type the OP 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 OP to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Optimism confirmations are usually fast β often within a minute.
- Send OP on Optimism mainnet only β not Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Optimism-compatible wallet and address (0xβ¦). Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas if sending ERC-20 tokens.
- 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.
Optimism β Ethereum L2 with low fees
OP is the governance token of Optimism β an Ethereum rollup with fast, low-cost transfers and deep Superchain liquidity.
OP on Optimism mainnet
Use an Optimism wallet for deposits. L1 Ethereum or other L2 sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas when moving OP or other tokens.
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 OP to ZEC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Optimism to Zcash.
How long until ZEC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Optimism mainnet deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold OP or ZEC for me?
No. You send OP 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 OP on the wrong chain?
Use Optimism mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
