    How the swap works

    1. Type the ZEC amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.

    2. Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.

    3. Broadcast ZEC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet.

    Check these before you send

    • Zcash confirmations follow mainnet block times — usually a few minutes.
    • Transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses are not interchangeable — use the type your order specifies.
    • Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet support.
    • If ADA 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.
    You send

    Zcash — shielded privacy is optional

    ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — use the receive format your wallet actually supports.

    Transparent vs shielded ZEC

    Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode.

    If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting.

    You receive

    Cardano — research-driven layer-1

    ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.

    ADA payout delays

    Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.

    When will ADA arrive?

    Cardano block times are around 20 seconds — payouts typically follow within several blocks.

    • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
    • Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
    • Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does ZEC to ADA require KYC or an account?

    No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Zcash to Cardano.

    How long until ADA arrives?

    Many orders finish in a few minutes. Zcash mainnet deposit confirmations and Cardano mainnet payout time set the wait.

    Do you hold ZEC or ADA for me?

    No. You send ZEC from a wallet you control and ADA is paid to the address you provide — PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.

    What if I send ZEC on the wrong chain?

    Use Zcash mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
