Common questions: XTZ → ZEC

What rate does XTZ to ZEC run at?
As of Nov 1, 2026 07:14 it is 1 XTZ = 0.000206021 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.256403.
What amounts does XTZ → ZEC accept?
From 777.605 to 39,200,000 XTZ per order. The lower limit is roughly $198.26.
Where does the 777.605 XTZ floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 777.605 XTZ 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 XTZ, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does XTZ to ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Tezos 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 XTZ to ZEC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 6.07%. Low 0.000206793, high 0.000275241, middle 0.000244824 ZEC per XTZ.
Can a XTZ 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 XTZ?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 4,893.02 XTZ. The link sits right under the calculator.
