## FAQ

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

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

### How much is 1 ZEC in MEW?

At 3 Oct 2026, 23:15 UTC, 1 ZEC swapped to about 2,381,441.57 MEW 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 MEW?

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

### What are the fees for converting Zcash to cat in a dogs world?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the MEW 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 MEW?

To receive cat in a dogs world from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your MEW address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the MEW address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending MEW to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my ZEC to MEW 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 MEW on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

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

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

### Will my MEW 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 MEW you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Solana (SPL token) 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 MEW swap work?

Zcash lives on Zcash and cat in a dogs world on Solana, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ZEC on Zcash and pays native MEW on Solana, 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 MEW 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.
