This pair turns PEPE into Zcash, a coin whose shielded transfers use zero-knowledge proofs. Holders use it to move part of a meme-coin position off Ethereum's public ledger and into a Zcash wallet where they can shield it, without an exchange account. Your PEPE transfer confirms on Ethereum in about 2 to 5 minutes, and its gas is paid in ETH, not PEPE. The ZEC payout follows on the Zcash chain, and most swaps finish in 10 to 25 minutes. Copy the PEPE amount from the exchange box instead of typing the zeros. One missing digit makes the amount ten times smaller. ### Tips - Paste a transparent Zcash address (t1 or t3) for the payout, then move the ZEC to your shielded address from inside your wallet. - Send PEPE on Ethereum mainnet from MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Keep ETH there for gas, and enter that 0x address as the refund address. - Zcash fees rise with the number of inputs and outputs a transaction uses. Shielding one larger payout costs less than shielding several small ones. ### Do I need an account to swap PEPE for ZEC? No. GhostSwap asks for no sign-up, email or ID on standard swaps. Paste your Zcash address, check the floating rate and send the PEPE from your own wallet. ### Is the ZEC private as soon as it arrives? No. It lands at your transparent address, where the amount and address are public. Move it to your shielded address in Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. Payments from that shielded balance to other shielded addresses then hide the sender, the receiver and the amount. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap PEPE to ZEC on GhostSwap? Most PEPE to ZEC swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the PEPE 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 PEPE in ZEC? 1 PEPE is worth about 0.0000000033 ZEC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 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 7,100,000 PEPE. The rate floats with the market until your PEPE deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange PEPE to ZEC? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send PEPE 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 Pepe 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 PEPE. ### 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 PEPE 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 PEPE payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash). ### Is it safe to exchange PEPE for ZEC on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your PEPE 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. ### How does a cross-chain PEPE to ZEC swap work? Pepe lives on Ethereum and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your PEPE on Ethereum 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 PEPE to ZEC exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the PEPE 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 PEPE](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/zec-pepe/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/zec-pepe.md)) - [No-KYC Zcash exchange: all routes, minimums and times](https://ghostswap.io/zcash-exchange/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/zcash-exchange.md)) - [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)
