ZEC to ATOM at a glance
Coming from Zcash, the exchange only ever sees a ZEC deposit. The history behind those coins is not visible to it. The payout in ATOM is an ordinary public transaction on Cosmos Hub, sent to the address you provide.
Your ATOM is paid on Cosmos Hub. Use an address that starts with cosmos1. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty.

ZEC to ATOM: questions and answers
How do I swap ZEC to ATOM without KYC?
Enter the ZEC amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your ATOM address and send your ZEC to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ATOM is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the ZEC to ATOM exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 ZEC ≈ 724.883 ATOM (the best of 12 offers for 2 ZEC). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
What are the minimum and maximum for ZEC to ATOM?
The minimum is about 0.0267 ZEC and the maximum about 8,330 ZEC. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a ZEC to ATOM swap take?
Usually around 55 min. Most of that is waiting for your ZEC deposit to confirm on Zcash, which takes about 10-20 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping ZEC to ATOM anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Your ZEC deposit is private by Zcash's design; the ATOM payout is a normal public transaction on Cosmos Hub.
Which ATOM address should I use?
Your ATOM is paid on Cosmos Hub. Use an address that starts with cosmos1. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the ZEC to ATOM rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Cosmos Hub network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Zcash network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap ATOM back to ZEC?
Yes. The reverse direction, ATOM to ZEC, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
