Tunnel in 3 steps

  1. Choose how much ADA to send and paste the Zcash address that should receive funds on Zcash mainnet.

  2. Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.

  3. Broadcast ADA to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ZEC is pushed to your payout wallet.

Before you broadcast

  • Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
  • Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
  • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
  • Still waiting on ZEC? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.

Cardano — research-driven layer-1

ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.

Sending ADA

Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.

Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.

You receive

Zcash — optional shielded privacy

ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.

ZEC receipt troubleshooting

Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed.

Transparent vs shielded payouts

Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable.

  • Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order.
  • Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software.
  • If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first.
