How do I exchange DEGEN to ZEC?

  1. Pick DEGEN and ZEC

    Pick DEGEN in “You send” and ZEC in “You get”, then enter the amount. The box shows how much ZEC you get after all fees, and the minimum for this pair.

  2. Paste your Zcash address

    Paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC: it starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. Wallets that work: Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. Then enter the Base address you send DEGEN from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.

  3. Send DEGEN on Base

    Send exactly the amount shown from your own Base wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the Base network (as a). Keep a little ETH on Base in that wallet for the network fee.

  4. Receive ZEC

    Your ZEC is paid out once your DEGEN deposit confirms, and Zcash then confirms it in about 10–20 minutes. Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.

Common mistakes with DEGEN to ZEC

  • Pasting a unified (u1...) address instead of a transparent t1 or t3 address.
  • Reusing an old t-address that already links to other activity.
  • Sending from an exchange account, so the sender address isn't yours and a refund can't reach you.
  • A Base wallet with no ETH on Base for the network fee.
  • Sending DEGEN on a different network than Base.

DEGEN to ZEC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging DEGEN to ZEC on GhostSwap.

Which Zcash address do I use to receive ZEC?
A transparent address that starts with t1 or t3. Unified (u1...) and shielded (zs...) addresses cannot receive the payout. In Zodl, Zkool or Zingo, open Receive and copy the transparent address.
How do I make the ZEC private after it arrives?
Shield it: in Zodl, Zkool or Zingo, move the balance from the transparent address into the shielded pool. After that the sender, receiver and amount are hidden.
How long does it take to swap DEGEN to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit. Your DEGEN deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Base; after that the ZEC is sent to your wallet and Zcash confirms it in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DEGEN to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send DEGEN from your own wallet, and the ZEC goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Degen to Zcash?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ZEC amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH on Base to pay the Base network fee for sending DEGEN.
Can I track my DEGEN to ZEC swap?
Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your DEGEN payment on BaseScan (https://basescan.org) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange DEGEN for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap has no accounts and no stored balance: your DEGEN deposit is converted and the ZEC is sent straight to the Zcash address you enter, so check that address twice, Zcash transfers cannot be reversed.
Can my DEGEN to ZEC swap be traced?
Your DEGEN transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Base (Ethereum layer 2) blockchain since Degen is transparent: transfers are public on BaseScan. However, once your ZEC arrives in your wallet, Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. By swapping DEGEN to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain DEGEN to ZEC swap work?
Degen lives on Base and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DEGEN on Base and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
Is it legal to own and swap Zcash?
In most countries, yes: owning and swapping Zcash is not banned, although some centralized exchanges have stopped listing privacy coins in certain regions. Privacy is a legitimate need, and using privacy-enhancing tools is not illegal in itself. You are responsible for following the cryptocurrency rules where you live.
