Zcash to Ethereum Classic: from a t-address to an ETC wallet
This pair converts Zcash into Ethereum Classic, the chain that kept the original Ethereum history after the 2016 split and still runs on proof of work. It suits ZEC holders who want to move into another proof-of-work coin or pay someone in ETC, with no account. Zcash has transparent addresses (t1 or t3) and shielded ones: Sapling addresses start with zs, and unified addresses (u1) carry a shielded receiver. The ETC you receive is an ordinary public transfer.
Zcash blocks arrive about every 75 seconds, and the deposit is usually credited within 10 to 20 minutes. Ethereum Classic then confirms the payout in blocks of about 13 seconds, and most swaps finish in 20 to 60 minutes. Many exchanges wait for a large number of ETC confirmations before they credit a deposit, so a payout sent to an exchange can take longer to show there.
Tips for this swap
- Paste an Ethereum Classic address (0x plus 40 hexadecimal characters). MetaMask uses the same address on every EVM chain, so add the Ethereum Classic network to see the ETC. Trust Wallet supports ETC directly.
- Send ZEC from a transparent t-address and enter that address as the sender address for refunds. If your ZEC is shielded, move the amount to a transparent address in your wallet first and wait for it to confirm.
- Do not use an exchange's Ethereum (ETH) deposit address for this payout. ETH and ETC are different coins, even though the addresses look alike.
Can I swap ZEC to ETC without KYC?
Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Enter your ETC address and a transparent Zcash address for refunds, then send the ZEC.
Will my ETC arrive at my Ethereum address?
It arrives on the Ethereum Classic chain. If you paste an address you also use on Ethereum, the same key controls the coins, but you see them only with the Ethereum Classic network selected.
Is Zcash legal?
No country has banned owning Zcash. Some countries stop local exchanges from listing privacy coins, and from 10 July 2027 EU crypto providers can't keep accounts that use them. Country by country: Will Zcash be banned?
Common mistakes with ZEC to ETC
- Sending from a shielded balance instead of a transparent t-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.
- Pasting an address from another network: the ETC address starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters.
