## FAQ

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

Most ZEC to XTZ swaps finish in 20–60 minutes. Your ZEC deposit needs about 10–20 minutes to confirm on Zcash; after that the XTZ is sent to your wallet and Tezos confirms it in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much XTZ do I get for 2.5 ZEC?

At 1 Oct 2026, 22:07 UTC, 2.5 ZEC swapped to about 10,057.05 XTZ on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the XTZ network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

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

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

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

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

To receive Tezos from your swap, we recommend using Temple or Kukai. Make sure your wallet supports the Tezos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XTZ address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the XTZ address?

Use a Tezos address: it starts with tz1, tz2 or tz3. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ZEC to XTZ 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 Zcash Block Explorer (https://zcashblockexplorer.com) and your incoming XTZ on TzKT (https://tzkt.io).

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

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

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

Since Zcash is optional — supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs, the source of your funds is already protected. The XTZ you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Tezos 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 XTZ swap work?

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

### What happens if my ZEC to XTZ 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.
