How do I exchange DRIFT to ZEC?

  1. Pick DRIFT and ZEC

    Pick DRIFT 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 Solana address you send DRIFT from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.

  3. Send DRIFT on Solana

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

  4. Receive ZEC

    Your ZEC is usually paid out 5–15 minutes after you send your DRIFT, and Zcash then confirms it in about 10–20 minutes. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.

Common mistakes with DRIFT 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 Solana wallet with no SOL for the network fee.
  • Sending DRIFT on a different network than Solana.

DRIFT to ZEC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging DRIFT 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 DRIFT to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most DRIFT to ZEC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DRIFT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana, then the ZEC is sent to your wallet, and Zcash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DRIFT to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send DRIFT 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 Drift 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 SOL to pay the Solana network fee for sending DRIFT.
Can I track my DRIFT 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 DRIFT payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange DRIFT for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap has no accounts and no stored balance: your DRIFT 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 DRIFT to ZEC swap be traced?
Your DRIFT transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Solana (SPL token) blockchain since Drift is transparent: every Solana transfer is public on Solscan. 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 DRIFT to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain DRIFT to ZEC swap work?
Drift lives on Solana and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DRIFT on Solana 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.
