How the ZEC → BCH order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.242041 ZEC.
- Enter a BCH address in Bitcoin Cash and a way to reach you.
- Send ZEC in Zcash for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Bitcoin Cash leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ZEC
- The address network is Bitcoin Cash. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 0.242041 ZEC.
- 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: ZEC → BCH
What rate does ZEC to BCH run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 09:18 it is 1 ZEC = 6.1824 BCH. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1,365.26.
What amounts does ZEC → BCH accept?
From 0.242041 to 7,370 ZEC per order. The lower limit is roughly $328.42.
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 plus 147.11%. Low 2.499, high 6.1894, middle 3.7946 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 = 0.163542 ZEC. The link sits right under the calculator.
