How the ZEC → ETC exchange runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 0.0664234 ZEC.
  2. Give a ETC address on Ethereum Classic and a contact for the order.
  3. Send ZEC on Zcash, exactly the amount the order shows.
  4. Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Ethereum Classic to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap ZEC for ETC

Check this before sending ZEC

  • The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 0.0664234 ZEC.
  • 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.

Why people take the ZEC → ETC route

  • Fuel for Ethereum ClassicWithout Ethereum Classic you cannot pay for a transfer or a contract call in Ethereum Classic — the coin is needed for anything that happens in that ecosystem.
  • Different basketsDaily moves of ZEC and ETC 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 ETC → ZEC direction is open as well — going back into ZEC takes the same route and the same automation.

Common questions: ZEC → ETC

What rate does ZEC to ETC run at?
As of Nov 10, 2026 13:29 it is 1 ZEC = 166.5789 ETC. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $1,139.40.
What amounts does ZEC → ETC accept?
From 0.0664234 to 8,780 ZEC per order. The floor is roughly $75.67.
Why can I not swap less than 0.0664234 ZEC?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.0664234 ZEC 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 ZEC, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping ZEC for ETC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Zcash 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. A block in Zcash closes in about 1.3 min.
Which network will ETC arrive in?
Ethereum Classic arrives in its own Ethereum Classic network — a plain ETC 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 ZEC to ETC rate do over the month?
Over the month, plus 18.29%: a low of 143.7387, a high of 188.4664, an average of 162.7816 ETC per 1 ZEC.
Can a ZEC to ETC 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, ETC for ZEC?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 ETC = 0.00600304 ZEC. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
