ZEC to ETC: questions and answers
How do I swap ZEC to ETC without KYC?
Enter the ZEC amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your ETC 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 ETC is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the ZEC to ETC exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 ZEC ≈ 150.08 ETC (the best of 16 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 ETC?
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 ETC swap take?
Usually around 50 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 ETC 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 ETC payout is a normal public transaction on Ethereum Classic.
Which ETC address should I use?
Your ETC is paid on Ethereum Classic. Use an address that starts with 0x and is 42 characters long. 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 ETC rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Ethereum Classic 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 ETC back to ZEC?
Yes. The reverse direction, ETC 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.
