Who takes the ETH BASE → ZEC route

  • Shielded transfersZcash has a mode in which transfer details never reach the public ledger.
  • Different basketsDaily moves of ETH and ZEC over 90 days line up at 0.42 (they travel alike) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
  • A road both waysThe ZEC → ETH BASE direction is open too, so going back into ETH takes the same route.

  2. Enter a ZEC address in Zcash and a way to reach you.
  3. Send ETH BASE in BASE for exactly the amount stated in the order.
  4. Once the network confirms your transfer, Zcash leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.

Swap ETH BASE for ZEC

Check this before sending ETH BASE

  • The address network is Zcash. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 0.0823137 ETH BASE.
  • 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: ETH BASE → ZEC

What rate does ETH BASE to ZEC run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 23:58 it is 1 ETH BASE = 1.6619 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $2,447.05.
What amounts does ETH BASE → ZEC accept?
From 0.0823137 to 4,080 ETH BASE per order. The lower limit is roughly $201.74.
Where does the 0.0823137 ETH BASE floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.0823137 ETH BASE 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 BASE, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ETH BASE to ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once BASE confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in BASE 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.
What did the ETH BASE to ZEC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 51.56%. Low 1.8023, high 4.089, middle 2.7661 ZEC per ETH BASE.
Can a ETH BASE 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 BASE?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 0.606546 ETH BASE. The link sits right under the calculator.
