About Monero (XMR)
The privacy coin by default — every transaction is private, with no opt-in needed.
- · Private by default: ring signatures hide the sender, stealth addresses hide the receiver, RingCT hides the amount. No 'transparent mode' to accidentally use.
- · Confirmed in ~2 minutes on average (10 confirmations ≈ 20 min for full settlement), fees typically under $0.01 regardless of amount.
- · Uniformly opaque ledger means no chain-analysis shortcuts — the reason KYC exchanges delist it and no-KYC swap services became its main liquidity channel.
About Zcash (ZEC)
Optional privacy done with zero-knowledge proofs — shielded pools hide sender, receiver and amount.
- · Two address types: transparent (t-) works like Bitcoin; shielded (z-/unified u-) encrypts everything with zk-SNARKs. Privacy only holds if you stay inside the shielded pool.
- · Block time ~75 seconds; expect roughly 10-12 minutes for deposit confirmations on swaps.
- · Unified addresses (UA) let the wallet auto-pick the best receiver type — the practical default for new users.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need KYC or an account to swap XMR to ZEC?

- Does the rate change after I create the order?
- No. This pair uses fixed-rate: the payout is locked at order creation and does not move afterwards.
- What is the minimum amount?
- It is set per pair by the liquidity provider and shown live in the widget above — the quote returns an error with the exact minimum if you go under it.
- What happens if I send less than the quoted amount?
- Underpaid orders are refunded to the refund address you provide, once the provider confirms the shortfall.
- Do you hold my coins at any point?
