How the DAI → ZEC order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 200 DAI.
- Enter a ZEC address in Zcash and a way to reach you.
- Send DAI in Dai for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Zcash leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending DAI
- The address network is Zcash. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 200 DAI.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

Common questions: DAI → ZEC
What rate does DAI to ZEC run at?
As of Sep 18, 2026 01:58 it is 1 DAI = 0.000683589 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1.00.
What amounts does DAI → ZEC accept?
From 200 to 10,000,000 DAI per order. The lower limit is roughly $199.95.
Where does the 200 DAI floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 200 DAI 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 DAI, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does DAI to ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Dai confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is.
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 DAI to ZEC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 62.33%. Low 0.000733039, high 0.00196641, middle 0.00115757 ZEC per DAI.
Can a DAI 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 DAI?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 1,479.08 DAI. The link sits right under the calculator.
