## FAQ

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

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

### How much is 1 ZEC in THETA?

At 4 Oct 2026, 01:51 UTC, 1 ZEC swapped to about 5,721.71 THETA on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.023 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 THETA?

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

### What are the fees for converting Zcash to THETA?

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

To receive THETA from your swap, we recommend using Theta Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Theta Network network before starting the exchange. Double-check your THETA address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the THETA address?

Use a Theta Network address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ZEC to THETA 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 THETA on Theta Explorer (https://explorer.thetatoken.org).

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

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

### Will my THETA 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 THETA you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Theta Network 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 THETA swap work?

Zcash lives on Zcash and THETA on Theta Network, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ZEC on Zcash and pays native THETA on Theta Network, 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 THETA 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.
