How the ZEC → XMR exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 0.0706987 ZEC.
- Give a XMR address on Monero and a contact for the order.
- Send ZEC on Zcash, exactly the amount the order shows.
- Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Monero to your address. The order page shows the status.
Check this before sending ZEC
- The address network is Monero. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 0.0706987 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 → XMR route
- Privacy at protocol levelIn Monero the sender, the receiver and the amount are hidden by the network itself — a public explorer will not show them.
- Quick settlementA block in Monero closes in about 2 min, which is why Monero is taken for transfers more often than for holding.
- Different basketsDaily moves of ZEC and XMR over 90 days link at 0.3 (they travel apart) — the weaker the link, the less a portfolio rests on one coin.
Common questions: ZEC → XMR
What rate does ZEC to XMR run at?
As of Oct 1, 2026 00:55 it is 1 ZEC = 2.6181 XMR. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $1,418.39.
What amounts does ZEC → XMR accept?
From 0.0706987 to 7,060 ZEC per order. The floor is roughly $100.08.
Why can I not swap less than 0.0706987 ZEC?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.0706987 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 XMR 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 XMR arrive in?
Monero arrives in its own Monero network — a plain XMR 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 XMR rate do over the month?
Over the month, plus 50.92%: a low of 1.6283, a high of 2.9551, an average of 2.3508 XMR per 1 ZEC.
Can a ZEC to XMR 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, XMR for ZEC?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 XMR = 0.381947 ZEC. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
