- Different basketsDaily moves of XMR and ZEC over 90 days line up at 0.3 (they travel apart) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
- A road both waysThe ZEC → XMR direction is open too, so going back into XMR takes the same route.

How the XMR → ZEC order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.39398 XMR.
- Enter a ZEC address in Zcash and a way to reach you.
- Send XMR in Monero 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 XMR
- The address network is Zcash. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 0.39398 XMR.
- 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: XMR → ZEC
What rate does XMR to ZEC run at?
As of Sep 18, 2026 03:43 it is 1 XMR = 0.355505 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $520.47.
What amounts does XMR → ZEC accept?
From 0.39398 to 19,500 XMR per order. The lower limit is roughly $201.88.
Where does the 0.39398 XMR floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.39398 XMR 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 XMR, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does XMR to ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Monero confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Monero closes in about 2 min.
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 XMR to ZEC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 54.57%. Low 0.367196, high 0.81098, middle 0.545953 ZEC per XMR.
Can a XMR 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 XMR?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 2.8441 XMR. The link sits right under the calculator.
