Privacy meets cross-chain liquidity.
We’re excited to announce the SwapKit Zcash integration, making ZEC available as a source and destination chain in SwapKit’s SDK. Powered by Maya Protocol and NEAR Intents, SwapKit partners can now seamlessly offer swaps into and out of Zcash alongside 20+ blockchains.
👉 At launch, the SwapKit Zcash integration supports transparent addresses. Shielded address support is under evaluation and may be added in the future.
This marks an important milestone: bringing privacy-preserving assets like ZEC into the same frictionless swap flow as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more.
Benefits of the SwapKit Zcash Integration
By enabling the SwapKit Zcash integration, wallets, dApps, and aggregators can now:
✅ Offer native ZEC swaps — powered by Maya Protocol and NEAR Intents routes.
✅ Route across ecosystems — seamless swaps between Zcash, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and beyond.
✅ Leverage intent-based execution — gas abstraction and fast finality through NEAR Intents.
✅ Expand asset coverage — serve privacy-conscious users who want Zcash liquidity.
✅ Simplify chain complexities — SwapKit abstracts away Zcash-specific challenges by:
• Handling gas fee calculation
• Providing token price discovery
• Building transactions in PSBT format
• Offering a built-in transaction tracker
✅ Enable instantly — existing SwapKit integrators can turn on Zcash with minimal changes.
How It Works
- SwapKit SDK automatically surfaces ZEC liquidity via Maya Protocol and NEAR Intents.
- Developers enable Zcash as a supported chain in their SwapKit integration.
- End-users can then:
- Swap ZEC into BTC, ETH, SOL, and more.
- Move assets into ZEC for privacy-preserving storage or payments.
- Access optimal routes sourced across multiple providers.
- Transactions settle natively across chains, without wrapped assets.
Why Zcash Matters
Since its launch in 2016, Zcash has been a leading privacy-focused blockchain, using advanced zero-knowledge cryptography to enable shielded transactions. As demand grows for privacy options in DeFi and cross-chain swaps, the SwapKit Zcash integration ensures partners can meet the needs of users who prioritize confidentiality.
By bringing Zcash into SwapKit through both Maya Protocol and NEAR Intents, integrators gain:
- Broader liquidity coverage.
- Flexible routing options.
- The ability to serve both mainstream and privacy-first crypto users.
The Cross-Chain Future with SwapKit
Adding Zcash as a supported chain underscores SwapKit’s mission to make every major blockchain and asset accessible via a single SDK.
From privacy coins to tokenized equities, Bitcoin to Solana, the SwapKit Zcash integration ensures developers have the tools to offer frictionless, non-custodial swaps for any user, anywhere.
The future isn’t siloed — it’s composable, cross-chain, and privacy-aware.
