How do I exchange PAXG to ZEC?

  1. Pick PAXG and ZEC

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

  3. Send PAXG on Ethereum

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

  4. Receive ZEC

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

Common mistakes with PAXG 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 Ethereum wallet with no ETH for the network fee.
  • Sending PAXG on a different network than Ethereum.

PAXG to ZEC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging PAXG 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 PAXG to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most PAXG to ZEC swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the PAXG deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, 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 PAXG in ZEC?
1 PAXG is worth about 3.0535 ZEC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 21 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 0.0073 PAXG. The rate floats with the market until your PAXG deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange PAXG to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send PAXG 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 PAX Gold 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 to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending PAXG.
Can I track my PAXG 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 PAXG payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange PAXG for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your PAXG 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 PAXG to ZEC swap be traced?
Your PAXG transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum blockchain since PAX Gold is transparent: transfers are public on 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 PAXG to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain PAXG to ZEC swap work?
PAX Gold lives on Ethereum and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your PAXG on Ethereum and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
