## FAQ

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

Most PYTH to ZEC swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your PYTH deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana; 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 PYTH?

At 1 Oct 2026, 16:37 UTC, 25,000 PYTH swapped to about 1.3548 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 PYTH to ZEC?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send PYTH 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 Pyth Network 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 PYTH.

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

To receive Zcash from your swap, we recommend using Ywallet, Zashi, or Nighthawk Wallet for shielded transactions. 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 for a transparent address. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my PYTH 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 PYTH payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Zcash Block Explorer (https://zcashblockexplorer.com).

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

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

Your PYTH transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Solana blockchain since Pyth Network is transparent — transfers are public on Solscan. 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 PYTH to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

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

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

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the PYTH is refunded to the Solana 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.
