How do I exchange DOT to ZEC?

  1. Pick DOT and ZEC

    Pick DOT in “You send” and ZEC in “You get”, then enter the amount. The box shows how much ZEC you get after all fees, and the minimum for this pair.

  2. Paste your Zcash address

    Paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC: it starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. Wallets that work: Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. Then enter the Polkadot address you send DOT from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.

  3. Send DOT on Polkadot

    Send exactly the amount shown from your own Polkadot wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the Polkadot network.

  4. Receive ZEC

    Your ZEC is usually paid out 5–15 minutes after you send your DOT, and Zcash then confirms it in about 10–20 minutes. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.

Common mistakes with DOT to ZEC

  • Pasting a unified (u1...) address instead of a transparent t1 or t3 address.
  • Reusing an old t-address that already links to other activity.
  • Sending from an exchange account, so the sender address isn't yours and a refund can't reach you.

DOT to ZEC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging DOT to ZEC on GhostSwap.

Which Zcash address do I use to receive ZEC?
A transparent address that starts with t1 or t3. Unified (u1...) and shielded (zs...) addresses cannot receive the payout. In Zodl, Zkool or Zingo, open Receive and copy the transparent address.
How do I make the ZEC private after it arrives?
Shield it: in Zodl, Zkool or Zingo, move the balance from the transparent address into the shielded pool. After that the sender, receiver and amount are hidden.
How long does it take to swap DOT to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most DOT to ZEC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DOT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Polkadot, then the ZEC is sent to your wallet, and Zcash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
How much is 1 DOT in ZEC?
1 DOT is worth about 0.000917 ZEC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 22 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ZEC network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 28 DOT. The rate floats with the market until your DOT deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DOT to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send DOT from your own wallet, and the ZEC goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Polkadot to Zcash?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ZEC amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Polkadot network fee for your deposit is paid in DOT by your wallet.
Can I track my DOT to ZEC swap?
Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your DOT payment on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange DOT for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap has no accounts and no stored balance: your DOT deposit is converted and the ZEC is sent straight to the Zcash address you enter, so check that address twice, Zcash transfers cannot be reversed.
Can my DOT to ZEC swap be traced?
Your DOT transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Polkadot blockchain since Polkadot is transparent: transactions visible on Subscan. However, once your ZEC arrives in your wallet, Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. By swapping DOT to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain DOT to ZEC swap work?
Polkadot lives on Polkadot and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DOT on Polkadot and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

What is Polkadot? Polkadot (DOT) is a multi-chain protocol that connects different blockchains into a unified network, enabling them to communicate and share data securely.

What is Zcash? Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that pioneered the use of zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) in blockchain technology. Zcash price today
