How do I exchange ETC to ZEC?

  1. Pick ETC and ZEC

    Pick ETC 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 Ethereum Classic address you send ETC from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.

  3. Send ETC on Ethereum Classic

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

  4. Receive ZEC

    Your ZEC is usually paid out 10–25 minutes after you send your ETC, and Zcash then confirms it in about 10–20 minutes. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.

Common mistakes with ETC 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.

ETC to ZEC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging ETC 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 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 0.006327 ZEC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 23 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 3.9 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.
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 has no accounts and no stored balance: 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.
