How do I exchange XTZ to ZEC?

  1. Pick XTZ and ZEC

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

  3. Send XTZ on Tezos

    Send exactly the amount shown from your own Tezos wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the Tezos network.

  4. Receive ZEC

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

Common mistakes with XTZ 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.

XTZ to ZEC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging XTZ 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 XTZ to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most XTZ to ZEC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the XTZ deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Tezos, 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 XTZ in ZEC?
1 XTZ is worth about 0.000236 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 94 XTZ. The rate floats with the market until your XTZ deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange XTZ to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send XTZ 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 Tezos 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, the Tezos network fee for your deposit is paid in XTZ by your wallet.
Can I track my XTZ 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 XTZ payment on TzKT (https://tzkt.io) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange XTZ for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your XTZ 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 XTZ to ZEC swap be traced?
Your XTZ transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Tezos blockchain since Tezos is transparent: transfers are public on TzKT. 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 XTZ to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain XTZ to ZEC swap work?
Tezos lives on Tezos and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XTZ on Tezos and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
