The Tron network fee for sending the USDT TRC20 is paid separately, in TRX. The rate floats with the market until your USDT TRC20 deposit confirms. ### Can I send USDT TRC20 straight to my ZEC address? No. USDT TRC20 moves on Tron and ZEC on Zcash, so USDT TRC20 can only be sent to a Tron address. To swap, send the USDT TRC20 to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the ZEC is paid to the Zcash address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token. ### What wallet and address do I need to receive ZEC? Use a Zcash address from a wallet you control, such as Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. All three can move ZEC into the shielded pool. The address starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the ZEC is sent straight to the address you enter. ### Can my USDT TRC20 to ZEC swap be traced?
