## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap HBAR to ZEC on GhostSwap?

Most HBAR to ZEC swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your HBAR deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Hedera; 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.

### How much ZEC do I get for 25,000 HBAR?

At 2 Oct 2026, 14:27 UTC, 25,000 HBAR swapped to about 1.8689 ZEC on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the ZEC network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange HBAR to ZEC?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send HBAR 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 Hedera Hashgraph 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, the Hedera network fee for your deposit is paid in HBAR by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive ZEC?

To receive Zcash from your swap, we recommend using Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo, which can all move ZEC into the shielded pool. Make sure your wallet supports the Zcash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ZEC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the ZEC address?

Use a Zcash address: it starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my HBAR 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 HBAR payment on HashScan (https://hashscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).

### Is it safe to exchange HBAR for ZEC on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your HBAR 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 HBAR to ZEC swap be traced?

Your HBAR transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Hedera blockchain since Hedera Hashgraph is transparent — transactions are public on HashScan. However, once your ZEC arrives in your wallet, Zcash is optional — supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. By swapping HBAR to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

### How does a cross-chain HBAR to ZEC swap work?

Hedera Hashgraph lives on Hedera and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your HBAR on Hedera and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my HBAR to ZEC exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the HBAR is refunded to the Hedera address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
