Private SOL/USDC -> ZEC Swap Using Encrypt.trade

Your gateway to private, cross-chain swaps powered by NEAR Intents.

Introduction

In today's blockchain world, privacy isn't optional - it's 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 - just simple, encrypted swapping.

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, you're ready to wrap your assets.

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 - this prevents one-to-one traceability.

Step 3: Prepare Your Zashi Wallet
