## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap ZEC to BCH on GhostSwap?

Most ZEC to BCH swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the ZEC deposit needs about 10–20 minutes to confirm on Zcash, then the BCH is sent to your wallet, and Bitcoin Cash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 ZEC in BCH?

At 3 Oct 2026, 18:12 UTC, 1 ZEC swapped to about 4.0851 BCH on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.023 ZEC. The rate floats with the market until your ZEC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ZEC to BCH?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Bitcoin Cash address that should receive the BCH, send ZEC from your own wallet, and the BCH goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Zcash to Bitcoin Cash?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the BCH amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Zcash network fee for your deposit is paid in ZEC by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive BCH?

To receive Bitcoin Cash from your swap, we recommend using Electron Cash or Cashonize. Make sure your wallet supports the Bitcoin Cash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your BCH address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the BCH address?

Use a Bitcoin Cash address: it starts with bitcoincash:q, q or 1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my ZEC to BCH 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 ZEC payment on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).

### Is it safe to exchange ZEC for BCH on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ZEC deposit is converted and the BCH is sent straight to the Bitcoin Cash address you enter, so check that address twice — Bitcoin Cash transfers cannot be reversed.

### Will my BCH be linked to my ZEC?

Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. Coins sent from a private balance keep their history out of public view. The BCH you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain with no visible connection to your ZEC holdings. GhostSwap requires no KYC, so there's no account linking the two.

### How does a cross-chain ZEC to BCH swap work?

Zcash lives on Zcash and Bitcoin Cash on Bitcoin Cash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ZEC on Zcash and pays native BCH on Bitcoin Cash, 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 ZEC to BCH exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ZEC is refunded to the Zcash 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.
