How the XTZ → ZEC exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 321.4959 XTZ.
- Give a ZEC address on Zcash and a contact for the order.
- Send XTZ on Tezos, 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 XTZ
- The address network is Zcash. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 321.4959 XTZ.
- 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: XTZ → ZEC
What rate does XTZ to ZEC run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 23:10 it is 1 XTZ = 0.000220741 ZEC. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $0.318724.
What amounts does XTZ → ZEC accept?
From 321.4959 to 31,500,000 XTZ per order. The floor is roughly $102.14.
Why can I not swap less than 321.4959 XTZ?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 321.4959 XTZ 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 XTZ, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping XTZ for ZEC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Tezos 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 XTZ to ZEC rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 10.98%: a low of 0.000173424, a high of 0.000267064, an average of 0.000223343 ZEC per 1 XTZ.
Can a XTZ 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 XTZ?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 ZEC = 4,530.11 XTZ. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
