Common questions: ZEC → BCH

What rate does ZEC to BCH run at?

As of Nov 1, 2026 13:54 it is 1 ZEC = 4.4105 BCH. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1,257.78.

What amounts does ZEC → BCH accept?

From 0.242041 to 7,990 ZEC per order. The lower limit is roughly $303.03.

Where does the 0.242041 ZEC floor come from?

Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.242041 ZEC 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 ZEC, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does ZEC to BCH take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Zcash confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Zcash closes in about 1.3 min.

Which network will BCH arrive in?

Bitcoin Cash leaves in its own Bitcoin Cash network — a plain BCH 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 ZEC to BCH rate do this month?

The month came in at minus 6.77%. Low 4.0808, high 4.698, middle 4.3409 BCH per ZEC.

Can a ZEC to BCH 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, BCH to ZEC?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 BCH = 0.229245 ZEC. The link sits right under the calculator.
