Networks and wallets for ZEC to ADA
Zcash mainnet
Check whether the deposit instructions use a transparent, shielded or Unified Address. Your Zcash wallet must support the supplied format and a compatible receiver within a Unified Address.
Cardano mainnet
Choose the receive address for ADA in a Cardano mainnet wallet. Use the payment address displayed by the wallet rather than a stake address.
Check ZEC deposit and ADA payout availability separately. The live service needs to accept your source network and offer the destination network that your ADA wallet expects.
How to convert ZEC to ADA
- Check that a live provider quotes your ZEC deposit network and the ADA payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of ADA 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 ZEC transaction reference, then verify the ADA payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare ZEC to ADA rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the ZEC amount by the rate expressed in ADA per ZEC. Then compare the actual ADA payout for the same ZEC 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.
