Common questions: ETH → ZEC

What rate does ETH to ZEC run at?

As of Sep 16, 2026 23:38 it is 1 ETH = 1.8344 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $2,446.64.

What amounts does ETH → ZEC accept?

From 0.0823561 to 4,160 ETH per order. The lower limit is roughly $198.20.

Where does the 0.0823561 ETH floor come from?

Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.0823561 ETH 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 ETH, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does ETH to ZEC take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Ethereum confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Ethereum closes in about 12 sec.

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.

Can a ETH 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 ETH?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 0.551171 ETH. The link sits right under the calculator.
