How the ETC → ZEC exchange runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 10.8538 ETC.
  2. Give a ZEC address on Zcash and a contact for the order.
  3. Send ETC on Ethereum Classic, exactly the amount the order shows.
  4. Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Zcash to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap ETC for ZEC

Check this before sending ETC

  • The address network is Zcash. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 10.8538 ETC.
  • Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
  • Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Daily moves of ETC and ZEC over the quarter link at 0.54 (they travel alike).

Why people take the ETC → ZEC route

  • Shielded transfersZcash has a mode in which the details of a transfer stay out of public view.
  • Different basketsDaily moves of ETC and ZEC over 90 days link at 0.54 (they travel alike) — the weaker the link, the less a portfolio rests on one coin.
  • It works both waysThe ZEC → ETC direction is open as well — going back into ETC takes the same route and the same automation.

Common questions: ETC → ZEC

What rate does ETC to ZEC run at?
As of Nov 10, 2026 13:29 it is 1 ETC = 0.00600304 ZEC. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $6.84.
What amounts does ETC → ZEC accept?
From 10.8538 to 1,460,000 ETC per order. The floor is roughly $74.24.
Why can I not swap less than 10.8538 ETC?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 10.8538 ETC they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.
Is anything charged on top of the rate?
No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending ETC, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping ETC for ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Ethereum Classic confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant.
Which network will ZEC arrive in?
Zcash arrives in its own Zcash network — a plain ZEC address is all you need.
What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?
Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the ETC to ZEC rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 15.46%: a low of 0.00530599, a high of 0.00695707, an average of 0.00618674 ZEC per 1 ETC.
Can a ETC to ZEC swap be seen from the outside?
Public networks keep every transfer in the explorer, open to anyone. Privacy coins shut that down: Monero by default, Zcash and Dash when a shielded transfer is picked.
Can I swap back, ZEC for ETC?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 ZEC = 166.5789 ETC. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
