How the LINK → ZEC exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 6.8478 LINK.
- Give a ZEC address on Zcash and a contact for the order.
- Send LINK on Chainlink, exactly the amount the order shows.
- 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.
Check this before sending LINK
- The address network is Zcash. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 6.8478 LINK.
- 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.

Common questions: LINK → ZEC
What rate does LINK to ZEC run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 16:00 it is 1 LINK = 0.0100578 ZEC. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $14.36.
What amounts does LINK → ZEC accept?
From 6.8478 to 694,000 LINK per order. The floor is roughly $98.68.
Why can I not swap less than 6.8478 LINK?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 6.8478 LINK 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 LINK, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping LINK for ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Chainlink 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 LINK to ZEC rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 23.15%: a low of 0.00775946, a high of 0.0136272, an average of 0.0101233 ZEC per 1 LINK.
Can a LINK 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 LINK?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 ZEC = 99.4235 LINK. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
