## FAQ

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

Most ZEC to HBAR swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the ZEC deposit needs about 10–20 minutes to confirm on Zcash, then the HBAR is sent to your wallet, and Hedera confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ZEC in HBAR?

At 3 Oct 2026, 13:55 UTC, 1 ZEC swapped to about 12,639.74 HBAR on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.024 ZEC. The rate floats with the market until your ZEC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ZEC to HBAR?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Hedera address that should receive the HBAR, send ZEC from your own wallet, and the HBAR goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Zcash to Hedera Hashgraph?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the HBAR amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Zcash network fee for your deposit is paid in ZEC by your wallet.

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

To receive Hedera Hashgraph from your swap, we recommend using HashPack. Make sure your wallet supports the Hedera network before starting the exchange. Double-check your HBAR address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the HBAR address?

Use a Hedera address: it is an account ID such as 0.0.12345. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Do I need a Memo to receive HBAR?

Only if the HBAR goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Memo; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal HBAR wallet does not need one.

### Can I track my ZEC to HBAR 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 ZEC payment on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash) and your incoming HBAR on HashScan (https://hashscan.io).

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

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ZEC deposit is converted and the HBAR is sent straight to the Hedera address you enter, so check that address twice — Hedera transfers cannot be reversed.

### Will my HBAR be linked to my ZEC?

Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. Coins sent from a private balance keep their history out of public view. The HBAR you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Hedera blockchain with no visible connection to your ZEC holdings. GhostSwap requires no KYC, so there's no account linking the two.

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

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

### 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 ZEC to HBAR exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ZEC is refunded to the Zcash 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.
