Common questions: BCH → ZEC

What rate does BCH to ZEC run at?

As of Nov 2, 2026 10:09 it is 1 BCH = 0.222486 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $282.57.

What amounts does BCH → ZEC accept?

From 0.894775 to 35,400 BCH per order. The lower limit is roughly $252.42.

Where does the 0.894775 BCH floor come from?

Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.894775 BCH the swap stops making sense for either side.

What else is taken on top of the rate?

The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending BCH, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does BCH to ZEC take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Bitcoin Cash confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Bitcoin Cash closes in about 10 min.

Which network will ZEC arrive in?

Zcash leaves in its own Zcash network — a plain ZEC address is all you need.

What if the rate moves while I am paying?

The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.

What did the BCH to ZEC rate do this month?

The month came in at minus 1.55%. Low 0.217479, high 0.24505, middle 0.231228 ZEC per BCH.

Can a BCH to ZEC swap be traced?

Transfers in public networks sit in the explorer for anyone to read. Privacy coins close that off: Monero always, Zcash and Dash when a shielded transfer is chosen.

Can I go back, ZEC to BCH?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 4.5445 BCH. The link sits right under the calculator.
