Questions
What is Zcan?
A privacy toolkit: private swaps into Zcash, a link cleaner, a photo metadata cleaner and privacy agents. An iPhone app with a private browser and VPN is dropping soon.
Is the swap custodial?
No. You send funds to a one-time deposit address created for your swap, and the output goes to the address you provide. Swaps are filled by NEAR Intents market makers; Zcan never holds your funds.
What if the price moves or my deposit is wrong?
Each quote has a guaranteed minimum. If it can't be met, or the deposit is too small or arrives after the deadline, the funds are refunded to your refund address automatically.
What does Fixed rate do?
You set exactly how much you want to receive and Zcan tells you how much to send. A small buffer is included and any unused amount is refunded.
Will my ZEC be private?
It can be. Paste a unified (u1…) address from a shielded wallet like Zodl (formerly Zashi) and the swap pays your shielded balance directly; if your wallet still shows any of it as transparent, shield it. A transparent address (t1…) works too, but that ZEC stays public until you shield it — see Learn › Shield after a swap. Sapling-only zs1… addresses aren't accepted.
Do the link and photo cleaners upload anything?
No. Both run entirely in your browser. Links are never opened, and photos never leave your device.
What do privacy agents do with my details?
They're sent to Zcan Privacy Model, the AI provider, only to run the agent you started; search queries go to Tavily. Zcan doesn't store them. Agents search the public web, never sign in anywhere for you, and only run the steps you approve.
How long does a swap take?
Most swaps finish within a few minutes of the deposit confirming. Slower chains like Bitcoin need more confirmations, so expect 10–40 minutes.
