How do I exchange XRP to ZEC?

  1. Pick XRP and ZEC

    Pick XRP 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 XRP Ledger address you send XRP from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.

  3. Send XRP on XRP Ledger

    Send exactly the amount shown from your own XRP Ledger wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the XRP Ledger network.

  4. Receive ZEC

    Your ZEC is paid out once your XRP deposit confirms, and Zcash then confirms it in about 10–20 minutes. Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.

Leaving the public XRP Ledger: XRP to Zcash

This pair swaps XRP into Zcash. On the XRP Ledger every account, balance and payment is public and easy to follow on XRPSCAN or Bithomp. ZEC held at a shielded Zcash address is different: zero-knowledge proofs hide who paid whom and how much. XRP holders use the pair to move part of a balance somewhere it can be kept private, with no account.

XRP payments settle in a few seconds, so the deposit is usually credited within a minute or two and most swaps send the ZEC within minutes. If the deposit screen gives a destination tag with the address, include it in your XRP payment, or the deposit may not be matched to your swap.

Tips for this swap

  • Your XRP account keeps a base reserve that cannot be sent. Swap the spendable amount your wallet shows.
  • Send from your own Xaman or Ledger account and enter that r address as the refund address. An exchange account would need its own destination tag for a refund to reach you.
  • The ZEC is paid to a t1 or t3 address. Move it to your shielded address once it has confirmed.

Do I need an account to swap XRP for Zcash?

No. An XRP to ZEC swap has no account, email or ID check. Enter a t1 or t3 Zcash address for the payout and your r address for refunds, check the floating rate and send the XRP.

Can I send the XRP straight from an exchange?

You can, but the payment then usually comes from the exchange's shared address. Enter your own r address as the refund address so a returned deposit reaches you, and include the deposit tag if one is shown.

Is Zcash legal?

No country has banned owning Zcash. Some countries stop local exchanges from listing privacy coins, and from 10 July 2027 EU crypto providers can't keep accounts that use them. Country by country: Will Zcash be banned?

Common mistakes with XRP 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.

XRP to ZEC: questions and answers

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 XRP to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit. The XRP deposit needs a few seconds to confirm on XRP Ledger, then the ZEC is sent to your wallet, and Zcash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes.
How much is 1 XRP in ZEC?
1 XRP is worth about 0.001084 ZEC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Nov 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ZEC network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 25 XRP. The XRP Ledger network fee for sending the XRP is paid separately, in XRP. The rate floats with the market until your XRP deposit confirms.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange XRP to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send XRP from your own wallet, and the ZEC goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
Can my XRP to ZEC swap be traced?
Your XRP transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the XRP Ledger blockchain since XRP is transparent: all transactions publicly visible on the XRP Ledger. 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 XRP to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
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.
What happens if my XRP to ZEC exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the XRP is refunded to the XRP Ledger address you entered as the sender address.
