ETC

What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum blockchain that continued after the 2016 DAO hack fork. While Ethereum (ETH) reversed the hack through a hard fork, Ethereum Classic preserved the original unaltered chain, adhering to the principle that 'code is law' and blockchains should be immutable. ETC maintains proof-of-work mining and shares much of Ethereum's early technology, supporting smart contracts and dApps. Ethereum Classic appeals to users who value blockchain immutability and decentralization above all else.

ZEC

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.

ETC → ZEC

Why Swap ETC for ZEC?

Swapping Ethereum Classic to Zcash on GhostSwap moves your funds into a privacy coin without KYC or account creation. Ethereum Classic is transparent: transactions are public on Blockscout.

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 ETC history stays public on the Ethereum Classic 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 ETC to ZEC swap without KYC, sign-ups, or personal data collection. The ETC you send is still visible on the Ethereum Classic blockchain; the privacy starts once the ZEC is in your wallet.

Exchange ETC for ZEC on GhostSwap with no account and no sign-up. Most swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes after you send your ETC.

ETC to ZEC: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap ETC to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most ETC to ZEC swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ETC deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Ethereum Classic, 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 ETC in ZEC?
1 ETC is worth about 0.006777 ZEC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 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 3.6 ETC. The rate floats with the market until your ETC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ETC to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send ETC 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 Ethereum Classic 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 Ethereum Classic network fee for your deposit is paid in ETC by your wallet.
What wallet should I use to receive ZEC?
To receive Zcash from your swap, we recommend using Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. All three can move ZEC into the shielded pool. Make sure your wallet supports the Zcash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ZEC address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the ZEC address?
Use a Zcash address: it starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.
Can I track my ETC 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 ETC payment on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange ETC for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ETC 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 ETC to ZEC swap be traced?
Your ETC transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum Classic blockchain since Ethereum Classic is transparent: transactions are public on Blockscout. 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 ETC to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain ETC to ZEC swap work?
Ethereum Classic lives on Ethereum Classic and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ETC on Ethereum Classic and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
Is it legal to own and swap Zcash?
In most countries, yes: owning and swapping Zcash is not banned, although some centralized exchanges have stopped listing privacy coins in certain regions. Privacy is a legitimate need, and using privacy-enhancing tools is not illegal in itself. You are responsible for following the cryptocurrency rules where you live.
What happens if my ETC to ZEC exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the ETC is refunded to the Ethereum Classic address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
