Who takes the ETC → ZEC route

Shielded transfersZcash has a mode in which transfer details never reach the public ledger.
Different basketsDaily moves of ETC and ZEC over 90 days line up at 0.53 (they travel alike) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
A road both waysThe ZEC → ETC direction is open too, so going back into ETC takes the same route.

How the ETC → ZEC order runs

Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 26.9709 ETC.
Enter a ZEC address in Zcash and a way to reach you.
Send ETC in Ethereum Classic 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.

Swap ETC for ZEC

Check this before sending ETC

The address network is Zcash. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
The transfer must not be smaller than 26.9709 ETC.
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: ETC → ZEC

What rate does ETC to ZEC run at?

As of Nov 2, 2026 00:14 it is 1 ETC = 0.00585769 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $7.14.

What amounts does ETC → ZEC accept?

From 26.9709 to 1,410,000 ETC per order. The lower limit is roughly $191.76.

Where does the 26.9709 ETC floor come from?

Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 26.9709 ETC 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 ETC, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does ETC to ZEC take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Ethereum Classic 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 ETC to ZEC rate do this month?

The month came in at minus 13.2%. Low 0.00569213, high 0.00695707, middle 0.00649231 ZEC per ETC.

Can a ETC 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 ETC?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 0.541771 ETC. The link sits right under the calculator.
