How the swap works
-
Type the STX 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 STX to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ZEC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Payout starts after Stacks mainnet has enough confirmations.
- If a deposit sits unconfirmed, check chain status β congestion can slow inclusion.
- Broadcast only STX on Stacks mainnet to the deposit shown on your order.
- 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.
Stacks
Credit STX only on Stacks mainnet. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
Deposit checklist
Open a wallet that can send on Stacks mainnet.
The wallet network must match the deposit network printed on the order.
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.
Read before you send

Frequently asked questions
Does STX to ZEC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Stacks to Zcash.
How long until ZEC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Stacks mainnet deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold STX or ZEC for me?
No. You send STX 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 STX on the wrong chain?
Use Stacks mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
