How do I exchange OP to ZEC?

  1. Pick OP and ZEC

    Pick OP 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 OP Mainnet address you send OP from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.

  3. Send OP on OP Mainnet

    Send exactly the amount shown from your own OP Mainnet wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the OP Mainnet network (as a). Keep a little ETH on OP Mainnet in that wallet for the network fee.

  4. Receive ZEC

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

Common mistakes with OP 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.
  • A OP Mainnet wallet with no ETH on OP Mainnet for the network fee.
  • Sending OP on a different network than OP Mainnet.

OP to ZEC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging OP 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 OP to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most OP to ZEC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, 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 OP in ZEC?
1 OP is worth about 0.0000972577 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 260 OP. The rate floats with the market until your OP deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange OP to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send OP 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 Optimism 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, your wallet needs a little ETH on OP Mainnet to pay the OP Mainnet network fee for sending OP.
Can I track my OP 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 OP payment on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange OP for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap has no accounts and no stored balance: your OP 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 OP to ZEC swap be traced?
Your OP transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the OP Mainnet (Ethereum layer 2) blockchain since Optimism is transparent: transactions are public on Optimistic Etherscan. 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 OP to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain OP to ZEC swap work?
Optimism lives on OP Mainnet and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your OP on OP Mainnet and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

What is Optimism? Optimism (OP) is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses optimistic rollups to make transactions faster and significantly cheaper than on Ethereum mainnet.

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
