What rate does ORCA to ZEC run at?
As of Nov 2, 2026 08:49 it is 1 ORCA = 0.00117839 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1.50.
What amounts does ORCA → ZEC accept?
From 153.6098 to 6,620,000 ORCA per order. The lower limit is roughly $231.95.
Where does the 153.6098 ORCA floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 153.6098 ORCA 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 ORCA, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ORCA to ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Orca 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 ORCA to ZEC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 3.65%. Low 0.00122127, high 0.00235289, middle 0.00158245 ZEC per ORCA.
Can a ORCA 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 ORCA?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 852.8887 ORCA. The link sits right under the calculator.
