How the swap works
-
Type the SOL 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 SOL to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Solana confirmations are typically fast — often under a minute in practice.
- Network outages or congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Use a Solana mainnet address (base58). Do not send SPL tokens unless the order specifies a token mint.
- 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.
Solana — fast L1 transfers
SOL is Solana's native token — built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large on-chain app set.
SOL deposit notes
Send native SOL on Solana mainnet. Token deposits require the exact asset your order lists.
Keep a small SOL balance for rent-exempt account requirements in some wallets.
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 SOL to ZEC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Solana to Zcash.
How long until ZEC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Solana mainnet deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold SOL or ZEC for me?
No. You send SOL 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 SOL on the wrong chain?
Use Solana mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
