How the ZEC → OP Optimism exchange runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 0.0663735 ZEC.
  2. Give a OP address on Optimism and a contact for the order.

  4. Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Optimism to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap ZEC for OP Optimism

Check this before sending ZEC

  • The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 0.0663735 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.

Common questions: ZEC → OP Optimism

What rate does ZEC to OP Optimism run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 19:30 it is 1 ZEC = 10,975.23 OP Optimism. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $1,438.30.
What amounts does ZEC → OP Optimism accept?
From 0.0663735 to 6,930 ZEC per order. The floor is roughly $95.81.
Why can I not swap less than 0.0663735 ZEC?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.0663735 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 OP Optimism 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 OP Optimism arrive in?
The payout goes out on Optimism. Check that the receiving wallet supports that network.
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 OP Optimism rate do over the month?
Over the month, plus 10.1%: a low of 8,224.26, a high of 14,523.73, an average of 11,214.75 OP Optimism per 1 ZEC.
Can a ZEC to OP Optimism 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, OP Optimism for ZEC?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 OP Optimism = 0.0000911124 ZEC. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
