Swap Solana to Zcash

Pour Solana, collect Zcash. The athanor engraves the formula the moment you start, so the amount shown is the amount delivered.

Going into Zcash is the usual reason for this pair. The deposit on Solana is public like any SOL transaction; the ZEC side is shielded by design.

The lab fee of 0.5% and the network fee for delivering ZEC are both inside the quote; the only extra cost is what your own wallet charges to send SOL.

The process

How to swap SOL for ZEC

  1. I

    Measure the SOL

    Enter how much Solana you pour and the ZEC address the distillate goes to. The estimate updates before you commit.

  2. II

    Pour into the athanor

    Send exactly that dose from any wallet to the deposit address, on Solana mainnet. The furnace lights at the first confirmation (seconds).

  3. III

    Collect the ZEC

    The lab distills and delivers to your flask on Zcash mainnet. About 2 minutes end to end, confirmations included.

Questions

SOL → ZEC, answered

More in the codex, or write to the lab.

How long does a SOL to ZEC swap take?

About 2 minutes for the median batch. Most of it is waiting for seconds on Solana; the delivery on Zcash is quick once distillation starts.

What is the minimum amount of SOL?

About 0.21 SOL (about $20) at today's prices. Below that, network fees would eat the distillate, so the batch pauses until you top up or ask for a return.

Is the rate fixed?

Yes. The expected ZEC output is engraved when you seal the batch and holds until the expiry shown on the deposit page. A deposit that arrives after expiry is handled at the live formula or returned, and you are told which.

Do I need an account or ID to swap SOL for ZEC?

No. There is no account, no email and no identity check. The batch number you receive is the only way to find the batch again, so keep it.

Which ZEC address should I give?

Any ZEC address you control on Zcash mainnet, including an exchange deposit address. Double-check it: the lab cannot recall a distillate once it is sent.

What if I send SOL on the wrong network?

The deposit address listens on Solana mainnet only. Tokens sent on another chain are not seen by the athanor; some can be recovered by a technician for a handling fee, many cannot. When in doubt, send a small test dose first.
