What is Dai?

Dai (DAI) is a decentralized stablecoin maintained at a 1:1 peg with the US Dollar through the MakerDAO protocol on Ethereum. Unlike centralized stablecoins (USDT, USDC), Dai is not backed by bank deposits — instead, it's generated by locking up crypto collateral in Maker Vaults. This makes Dai censorship-resistant and truly decentralized, with no single entity able to freeze or blacklist tokens. DAI is widely used across DeFi for lending, borrowing, and as a stable medium of exchange.

What is Zcash?

Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that pioneered the use of zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) in blockchain technology. Unlike Monero where privacy is mandatory, Zcash gives users the choice between transparent transactions (publicly visible, like Bitcoin) and shielded transactions (fully private — hiding sender, receiver, and amount). This flexibility lets Zcash users choose a shielded transfer when they want privacy and a transparent one when they do not. ZEC has been instrumental in advancing cryptographic research that now underpins many Layer 2 scaling solutions.

Shield your financial activity

Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. Use the private option in your wallet to keep balances and payments out of public view.

No account linking the two coins

Your DAI history stays public on the Dai blockchain. The ZEC arrives at your transparent Zcash address, and your wallet can then move it into the shielded pool, where amounts and addresses are hidden. A no-KYC swap adds no account or ID linking the two.

Low fees on the Zcash network

Zcash fees are minimal, making ZEC practical for regular private transactions, not just large transfers.

No identity verification required

GhostSwap processes your DAI to ZEC swap without KYC, sign-ups, or personal data collection. The DAI you send is still visible on the Dai blockchain; the privacy starts once the ZEC is in your wallet.
