How do I exchange ZEC to USDT?
Pick ZEC and USDT
Pick ZEC in “You send” and USDT in “You get”, then enter the amount. The box shows how much USDT you get after all fees, and the minimum for this pair.
Paste your Ethereum address
Paste the Ethereum address that should receive the USDT: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Wallets that work: MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Then enter the Zcash address you send ZEC from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.
Send ZEC on Zcash
Send exactly the amount shown from your own Zcash wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the Zcash network.
Receive USDT
Your USDT is usually paid out 20–60 minutes after you send your ZEC, and Ethereum then confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.
Zcash to USDT on Ethereum: locking in a dollar value from ZEC
ZEC to USDT ERC20 is for Zcash holders who want dollars they can use on Ethereum, for example to pay an invoice, use DeFi or fund a service that asks for ERC-20 USDT. Zcash can keep balances in its shielded pools, but USDT on Ethereum is fully public on Etherscan. GhostSwap sends the USDT to your own 0x address; there is no account to open.
With a Zcash block about every 75 seconds, the ZEC deposit usually takes 10 to 20 minutes to confirm, which puts most swaps at 20 to 60 minutes, and the USDT then settles on Ethereum a few minutes later. The payout is ERC-20 USDT on Ethereum mainnet. If you would rather hold Tether on Tron, BNB Smart Chain or Solana, pick that version as the receive coin, because each one needs an address on its own network.
Tips for this swap
- Receive the USDT at your own Ethereum address from MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger (0x plus 40 hex characters). Receiving costs no gas, but moving the USDT later needs some ETH.
- Enter a transparent Zcash address (t1 or t3) as the refund address; the field does not accept shielded zs or unified u1 addresses.
- Send from your own Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo wallet. Each can spend from your shielded balance and also show a transparent address to use for refunds.
Can I sell Zcash for USDT without KYC?
Yes. There is no account to create and no email or ID to give for a standard swap. Enter the 0x address that should receive the USDT, check the floating rate and send the ZEC; any refund goes to the t-address you entered.
Can I send ZEC from a shielded address?
Yes. Your wallet sends from the shielded pool to the transparent deposit address. That transfer shows its amount and the deposit address on-chain, but not which shielded address it came from, and your shielded balance and earlier payments stay hidden.
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 USDT
- 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 USDT address starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters.
