Send exactly the amount shown from your own Zcash wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the Zcash network.
Receive AAVE
Your AAVE is usually paid out 20–60 minutes after you send your ZEC, and Ethereum then confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.
Zcash into AAVE: deshield first, then swap
Zcash has two kinds of addresses. Transparent ones start with t1 or t3 and work like Bitcoin addresses. Shielded ones, Sapling zs addresses or unified u1 addresses, use zero-knowledge proofs to hide the sender, the receiver and the amount. AAVE is the governance token of Aave, a lending protocol, and is paid here as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. The pair suits ZEC holders who want a DeFi governance token in their own wallet, with no account.
Zcash blocks arrive about every 75 seconds, and the deposit is usually credited within 10 to 20 minutes. The AAVE payout then confirms on Ethereum in about 2–5 minutes, and most swaps finish in 20 to 60 minutes. The AAVE you receive is a public ERC-20 balance. Zcash shielding does not carry over to Ethereum.
Tips for this swap
- Enter a transparent t1 or t3 address you control as the refund address. If your ZEC is shielded, first unshield the amount to a transparent address, then send the deposit from that address.
- Paste an Ethereum address for the AAVE: 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. A Zcash address cannot hold ERC-20 tokens.
- Add a little ETH to the receiving address. Moving or delegating AAVE on Ethereum costs gas in ETH.
Can I swap ZEC to AAVE without KYC?
Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Enter your Ethereum address and a transparent Zcash refund address, then send the ZEC.
My ZEC is in a shielded wallet. Can I still swap it?
Yes, after one extra step. Move the amount to a transparent t1 or t3 address and wait for it to confirm. Some wallets only spend from the shielded pool, so use one that can send from a transparent address. Then send the ZEC from that address and use it for refunds.
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 ZEC to AAVE
- Sending from a shielded balance instead of a transparent t-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.
- Pasting an address from another network: the AAVE address starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters.
