Common questions: ETH Optimism → ZEC
What rate does ETH Optimism to ZEC run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 12:25 it is 1 ETH Optimism = 1.9132 ZEC. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $2,676.75.
What amounts does ETH Optimism → ZEC accept?
From 0.0374734 to 3,740 ETH Optimism per order. The floor is roughly $100.10.
Why can I not swap less than 0.0374734 ETH Optimism?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.0374734 ETH Optimism 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 ETH Optimism, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping ETH Optimism for ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Optimism 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 Optimism closes in about 12 sec.
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 ETH Optimism to ZEC rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 34.41%: a low of 1.6306, a high of 2.9325, an average of 2.1427 ZEC per 1 ETH Optimism.
Can a ETH Optimism 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 ETH Optimism?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 ZEC = 0.522672 ETH Optimism. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
