Private SOL/USDC â ZEC Swap Using Encrypt.trade
Your gateway to private, cross-chain swaps powered by NEAR Intents.
ð¹ Introduction
In todayâs blockchain world, privacy isnât optional â itâs essential. With encrypt.trade , users can seamlessly swap SOL or USDC on Solana into Zcash (ZEC) while keeping transactions completely private. No centralized exchanges, no identity exposure â just simple, encrypted swapping.
ð¹ Step 1: Connect Your Solana Wallet
Visit encrypt.trade using Chrome or Firefox, and connect your Phantom, Solflare, or Slope wallet. Ensure your wallet contains enough SOL for gas fees and the tokens you want to trade. Once connected, youâre ready to wrap your assets.
ð¹ Step 2: Wrap Your Tokens
Navigate to the Wrap section. Choose SOL or USDC, enter the amount, and confirm. The app locks your assets and issues encrypted versions (eSOL or eUSDC). To increase privacy, wrap slightly more than you plan to swap â this prevents one-to-one traceability.
ð¹ Step 3: Prepare Your Zashi Wallet
Download Zashi , the official Zcash wallet by Electric Coin Co. Copy your Unified Address from the Receive tab â it supports both transparent and shielded ZEC. Save your seed phrase securely before proceeding.
ð¹ Step 4: Swap Privately
Back on encrypt.trade, go to Swap. Select eSOL/eUSDC â ZEC, paste your Zashi address, review details, and confirm.
The NEAR Intents engine automatically handles cross-chain routing â delivering ZEC directly to your Zashi wallet within seconds.
ð¹ Step 5: Shield and Stay Private
Once received, use Zashiâs Shield option to move your ZEC into the shielded pool for maximum privacy. Always verify links, avoid reusing addresses, and test small amounts first.
By combining Solanaâs speed, Zcashâs privacy, and NEAR Intentsâ automation, encrypt.trade redefines what a private crypto swap can be â fast, seamless, and truly confidential.
