The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.
One ZEC buys 0.552634 ETH Optimism right now; the other way round, 1 ETH Optimism is 1.8095 ZEC. Market over 24 hours: ZEC against ETH Optimism plus 18.65%. The week added plus 5.93%.
The weekly corridor ran from 0.427582 to 0.559304 ETH Optimism, a spread of 30.81%. A single order takes 0.242041 to 7,570 ZEC. In dollars that is roughly $319.90.
The payout leaves in the Optimism network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network. By market cap Zcash sits 10th ($22.38 B) and Ethereum 2th ($293.04 B).
Who takes the ZEC → ETH Optimism route
- Fuel for OptimismWithout Ethereum nothing moves in Optimism — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
- Different basketsHolding part of the amount in Ethereum loosens a portfolio's dependence on a single coin.
- A road both waysThe ETH Optimism → ZEC direction is open too, so going back into ZEC takes the same route.

Payout network for ETH
The same ETH goes out in several networks. Rates and lower limits differ, and the fee is charged by the network itself.

How the ZEC → ETH Optimism order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.242041 ZEC.
- Enter a ETH address in Optimism and a way to reach you.
- Send ZEC in Zcash for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Ethereum leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ZEC
- The address network is Optimism. 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 → ETH Optimism
What rate does ZEC to ETH Optimism run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 01:28 it is 1 ZEC = 0.552634 ETH Optimism. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1,327.01.
What amounts does ZEC → ETH Optimism accept?
From 0.242041 to 7,570 ZEC per order. The lower limit is roughly $319.90.
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 ETH Optimism 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 ETH Optimism arrive in?
The payout leaves in Optimism. Make sure the receiving wallet works with that network.
Where is receiving ETH cheaper?
The cheapest is usually ETH BEP20, ETH Arbitrum, ETH Optimism. Still, the network is chosen by what the recipient supports, not by the fee.
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.
Can a ZEC to ETH Optimism 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, ETH Optimism to ZEC?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETH Optimism = 1.8241 ZEC. The link sits right under the calculator.
