Networks and wallets for ETH to ZEC
Ethereum mainnet
Check whether your ETH balance is on Ethereum mainnet or a layer 2 such as Arbitrum or Base. The same 0x address can appear on several networks.
Zcash mainnet
Check which Zcash address formats the payout provider accepts before copying one from your wallet. A Unified Address can include both shielded and transparent receivers. The receiver used for the payout determines whether that output is shielded.
Check ETH deposit and ZEC payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your ZEC wallet expects.
How to convert ETH to ZEC
- Check that a live provider quotes your ETH deposit network and the ZEC payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of ZEC you would receive after fees, then confirm the receiving address and any memo or tag required for your payout.
- If you go ahead, follow the live order’s deposit instructions. Keep the order ID and the ETH transaction reference, then verify the ZEC payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare ETH to ZEC rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the ETH amount by the rate expressed in ZEC per ETH. Then compare the actual ZEC payout for the same ETH amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Orbit uses a $100 minimum. The estimate on this page uses reference market prices before fees. An executable quote, including any additional route limits, comes from a live settlement provider.
