## FAQ

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

Most RLUSD to ZEC swaps finish in 10–25 minutes. Your RLUSD deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum; 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 2,500 RLUSD?

At 2 Oct 2026, 13:15 UTC, 2,500 RLUSD swapped to about 1.7786 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 RLUSD to ZEC?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send RLUSD 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 Ripple USD 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 to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending RLUSD.

### 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 RLUSD 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 RLUSD payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).

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

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

Your RLUSD transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum blockchain since Ripple USD is transparent — transfers are public on Etherscan. 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 RLUSD to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

### Why swap RLUSD to ZEC?

Converting Ripple USD to Zcash allows you to move from a stable, dollar-pegged asset into Zcash for optional privacy-shielded transactions using zero-knowledge proofs. Using GhostSwap means you can enter a ZEC position privately, without signing up for a centralized exchange or completing KYC verification.

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

If a swap cannot be completed, the RLUSD is refunded to the Ethereum 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.
