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.

ZEC

What is Zcash?

Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that pioneered the use of zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) in blockchain technology. Unlike Monero where privacy is mandatory, Zcash gives users the choice between transparent transactions (publicly visible, like Bitcoin) and shielded transactions (fully private — hiding sender, receiver, and amount). This flexibility lets Zcash users choose a shielded transfer when they want privacy and a transparent one when they do not. ZEC has been instrumental in advancing cryptographic research that now underpins many Layer 2 scaling solutions.

ETC

What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum blockchain that continued after the 2016 DAO hack fork. While Ethereum (ETH) reversed the hack through a hard fork, Ethereum Classic preserved the original unaltered chain, adhering to the principle that 'code is law' and blockchains should be immutable. ETC maintains proof-of-work mining and shares much of Ethereum's early technology, supporting smart contracts and dApps. Ethereum Classic appeals to users who value blockchain immutability and decentralization above all else.

ZEC → ETC

Why Swap ZEC for ETC?

Converting Zcash to Ethereum Classic on GhostSwap lets you move from a privacy-focused cryptocurrency into a more widely traded asset without exposing your identity. 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. Swapping ZEC to ETC without KYC means there is no account or identity linking your private holdings to your new Ethereum Classic.

Access wider trading pairs and liquidity

Ethereum Classic is widely listed, giving you more options for trading, spending, or converting to fiat.

Maintain your privacy chain

Your ETC arrives as a fresh transaction on the Ethereum Classic blockchain with no visible connection to your ZEC holdings. No KYC means no identity link.

About Ethereum Classic

Ethereum Classic is used for smart contracts on the original, proof-of-work Ethereum chain.

No account or identity required

GhostSwap requires no sign-up, no KYC, and no personal information. Your ZEC to ETC swap needs no account or ID.

Exchange ZEC for ETC on GhostSwap: your Ethereum Classic is usually paid out 20–60 minutes after you send. No registration and no verification for standard swaps.

ZEC to ETC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging ZEC to ETC on GhostSwap.

How long does it take to swap ZEC to ETC on GhostSwap?
Most ZEC to ETC swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the ZEC deposit needs about 10–20 minutes to confirm on Zcash, then the ETC is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum Classic confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
How much is 1 ZEC in ETC?
At 3 Oct 2026, 11:14 UTC, 1 ZEC swapped to about 146.7939 ETC 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.
What are the fees for converting Zcash to Ethereum Classic?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ETC 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 ETC?
To receive Ethereum Classic from your swap, we recommend using Trust Wallet or MetaMask (ETC network). Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum Classic network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ETC address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the ETC address?
Use an Ethereum Classic address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.
Can I track my ZEC to ETC 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) and your incoming ETC on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com).
Is it safe to exchange ZEC for ETC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ZEC deposit is converted and the ETC is sent straight to the Ethereum Classic address you enter, so check that address twice — Ethereum Classic transfers cannot be reversed.
Will my ETC 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 ETC you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Ethereum Classic 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 ETC swap work?
Zcash lives on Zcash and Ethereum Classic on Ethereum Classic, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ZEC on Zcash and pays native ETC on Ethereum Classic, 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 ETC 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.
