XLM

What is Stellar?

Stellar (XLM) is an open-source blockchain network designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset tokenization. Founded by Jed McCaleb (co-founder of Ripple), Stellar focuses on connecting financial institutions and making money transfers accessible to the unbanked. Transactions on Stellar settle in 3-5 seconds with fees under $0.01, making it one of the most efficient payment networks available. XLM is the native currency used for transaction fees and as a bridge between different currencies. Exchange XLM on GhostSwap to swap Stellar Lumens for any supported cryptocurrency — fast, private, and without KYC verification.

ZEC

What is Zcash?

Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that pioneered the use of zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) in blockchain technology. Unlike Monero where privacy is mandatory, Zcash gives users the choice between transparent transactions (publicly visible, like Bitcoin) and shielded transactions (fully private — hiding sender, receiver, and amount). This flexibility makes Zcash suitable for users who want privacy when they need it while maintaining the option for transparent compliance. ZEC has been instrumental in advancing cryptographic research that now underpins many Layer 2 scaling solutions. Swap ZEC on GhostSwap for a private exchange experience — no KYC, no account, no trace.

XLM → ZEC

Why Swap XLM for ZEC?

Swapping Stellar to Zcash on GhostSwap moves your funds into a privacy coin without KYC or account creation. Stellar is transparent — transactions are public on StellarExpert.

Shield your financial activity

Zcash privacy is optional — supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. Use the private option in your wallet to keep balances and payments out of public view.

No account linking the two coins

Your XLM history stays public on the Stellar blockchain. The ZEC arrives at your transparent Zcash address, and your wallet can then move it into the shielded pool, where amounts and addresses are hidden. A no-KYC swap adds no account or ID linking the two.

Low fees on the Zcash network

Zcash fees are minimal, making ZEC practical for regular private transactions — not just large transfers.

No identity verification required

GhostSwap processes your XLM to ZEC swap without KYC, sign-ups, or personal data collection. The XLM you send is still visible on the Stellar blockchain; the privacy starts once the ZEC is in your wallet.

Exchange XLM for ZEC on GhostSwap with no account and no sign-up. Most swaps finish in 5–15 minutes after you send your XLM.

XLM to ZEC: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap XLM to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most XLM to ZEC swaps finish in 5–15 minutes. Your XLM deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on Stellar; 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 10,000 XLM?
At 2 Oct 2026, 08:02 UTC, 10,000 XLM swapped to about 1.5849 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 XLM to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send XLM 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 Stellar 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 Stellar network fee for your deposit is paid in XLM 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 XLM 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 XLM payment on StellarExpert (https://stellar.expert) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange XLM for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your XLM 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 XLM to ZEC swap be traced?
Your XLM transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Stellar blockchain since Stellar is transparent — transactions are public on StellarExpert. 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 XLM to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain XLM to ZEC swap work?
Stellar lives on Stellar and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XLM on Stellar and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my XLM to ZEC exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the XLM is refunded to the Stellar 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.
