How POL to ZEC is routed right now
POL to ZEC can also be swapped with no exchange in between, through a decentralised liquidity network. AltoSwap uses that route when it is available for your amount and pays within 1% of the best rate found.
You pay your wallet's own network fee to send POL on Polygon PoS. The network fee for paying out ZEC on Zcash is already included in the rate.
POL to ZEC at a glance
Zcash is a privacy coin, which makes POL to ZEC one of the most common privacy swaps. The exchange receives a public POL transaction and pays you ZEC; from then on, what you do with that ZEC is shielded by Zcash's own protocol rather than by any promise from an intermediary.
Your ZEC is paid on Zcash. Use an address that is a transparent t-address (unified addresses are not supported).

POL to ZEC: questions and answers
How do I swap POL to ZEC without KYC?
Enter the POL amount on this page, paste your ZEC address and send your POL to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ZEC is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the POL to ZEC exchange rate?
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current POL to ZEC rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for POL to ZEC?
The minimum is about 35.8 POL and the maximum about 11,180,609 POL. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a POL to ZEC swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your POL deposit to confirm on Polygon PoS, which takes about 1-3 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping POL to ZEC anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Your POL deposit is a public transaction on Polygon PoS, but once you hold ZEC its transactions hide sender, receiver and amount by design.
Which ZEC address should I use?
Your ZEC is paid on Zcash. Use an address that is a transparent t-address (unified addresses are not supported). Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the POL to ZEC rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Zcash network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Polygon PoS network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap ZEC back to POL?
Yes. The reverse direction, ZEC to POL, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
