No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Ethereum to Zcash?

On top of that, the Ethereum network fee for your deposit is paid in ETH by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive ZEC?

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 ETH 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 ETH payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash). ### Is it safe to exchange ETH for ZEC on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ETH 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 ETH to ZEC swap be traced? Your ETH transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum (ERC-20) blockchain since Ethereum is transparent — every transaction and wallet balance is visible on Etherscan. However, once your ZEC arrives in your wallet, Zcash is optional — supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. By swapping ETH to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together. ### How does a cross-chain ETH to ZEC swap work? Ethereum lives on Ethereum and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ETH on Ethereum and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my ETH to ZEC exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ETH is refunded to the Ethereum 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. ## Related - [Reverse: ZEC to ETH](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/zec-eth/) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
