It is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum that holders use to vote on protocol changes or to delegate their votes. Swapping it to ZEC moves the value off Ethereum, where every UNI balance and delegation is public, and onto Zcash's own chain. Once the ZEC is in a shielded address, transfers between shielded addresses hide the sender, the receiver and the amount. The UNI deposit is an ERC-20 transfer paid for with ETH gas, and it usually confirms in about 2 to 5 minutes. Zcash adds a block about every 75 seconds, and most UNI to ZEC swaps finish in 10 to 25 minutes. The payout lands at a transparent address, which is as public as a Bitcoin address. Nothing is private until you shield it in your wallet. ### Tips - Paste a transparent Zcash address starting with t1 or t3. Zcash wallets such as Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool and Zingo can show one alongside your shielded address. - Send UNI on Ethereum mainnet with a little ETH for gas, and enter that 0x address as the refund address. UNI on BNB Smart Chain is a separate coin in the exchange box. UNI on Unichain or another layer 2 has to be moved back to Ethereum first. - Every payment to a transparent address can be seen on a block explorer. Use a fresh transparent address if you do not want this payout linked to ZEC you received there before. ### Can I swap UNI to ZEC without KYC? Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your transparent Zcash address, check the floating rate and send the UNI from your own Ethereum wallet. ### Do I have to undelegate my UNI before swapping? No. Delegating UNI only assigns its voting power. The tokens stay in your wallet and can be sent at any time. Once they are swapped, they no longer count toward the delegate you chose. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap UNI to ZEC on GhostSwap? Most UNI to ZEC swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the UNI 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 UNI in ZEC? 1 UNI is worth about 0.006239 ZEC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 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 UNI. The rate floats with the market until your UNI deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### What are the fees for converting Uniswap 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 UNI. ### 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 UNI 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 UNI payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash). ### Is it safe to exchange UNI for ZEC on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your UNI 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 UNI to ZEC swap be traced? Your UNI transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Ethereum (ERC-20) blockchain since Uniswap is transparent: token balances and 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 UNI to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together. ### How does a cross-chain UNI to ZEC swap work? Uniswap lives on Ethereum and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your UNI 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 UNI to ZEC exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the UNI 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 UNI](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/zec-uni/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/zec-uni.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)
