Swap ADA to ZEC

Exchange ADA from Cardano into ZEC on Zcash. The provider waits for the ADA deposit before arranging the ZEC payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

Cardano to Zcash (Transparent)

You send: CardanoADA · Mainnet
You receive: Zcash (Transparent)ZEC · Mainnet

Enter your amount to check live availability for ADA on Mainnet → ZEC on Mainnet. A provider quote is required before you can create a swap.

Address and network checks

Use the order’s Cardano deposit address for ADA, and your own Zcash receiving address for ZEC. Keep the refund address on Cardano; the payout address is not automatically a valid refund destination.

Sending ADA

Choose Cardano using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Use a Cardano payment/receiving address from your wallet. A staking reward address is used for a different purpose and should not be substituted for a regular receiving address.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Cardano, allow for network fees in ADA in addition to the amount you send. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving ZEC

Choose Zcash using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Use the transparent address type accepted by the selected provider. Do not assume a shielded-only address is compatible with this transparent route. This listed ZEC/Mainnet option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

Enter a refund address that accepts ADA on Mainnet. The refund is sent in ADA on Mainnet; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.

Does a confirmed ADA deposit mean my ZEC has arrived?
