How the ZEC → XTZ order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator and press the exchange button.
- Enter a XTZ address in Tezos and a way to reach you.
- Send ZEC in Zcash for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Tezos leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ZEC
- The address network is Tezos. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- 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 → XTZ
What rate does ZEC to XTZ run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 00:58 it is 1 ZEC = 5,297.01 XTZ. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1,316.23.
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 XTZ 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 XTZ arrive in?
Tezos leaves in its own Tezos network — a plain XTZ 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.
Can a ZEC to XTZ 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, XTZ to ZEC?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 XTZ = 0.000190308 ZEC. The link sits right under the calculator.
