ETHEREUM → ZCASH · NO WALLET CONNECTION · NO SIGN-UP · NO KYC

No wallet connection is needed to swap USDC for ZEC. Send USDC once from MetaMask, Rabby, Ledger or an exchange withdrawal, and ZEC lands at any Zcash address you choose. An Ethereum deposit confirms in about a minute. On small amounts, mainnet gas is the cost to watch.

USDC to ZEC FAQ

Do I need to connect an Ethereum wallet?

No. The exchange issues a deposit address on Ethereum and you send USDC to it from MetaMask, Rabby, Ledger or an exchange withdrawal. Nothing is signed in the browser.

How long does USDC to ZEC take?

Usually a few minutes from the moment your USDC deposit confirms. The quote shows an ETA for this exact route before you send anything.

Which Zcash address can receive the ZEC?

Any Zcash address, a transparent t1… address. Payouts go to transparent addresses and are public on-chain. You can shield the ZEC afterwards in your own wallet.

Do I get real ZEC?

Yes. The payout is an ordinary Zcash transaction to your address. It is not a wrapped token on another network and there is no claim step.

What happens if the swap fails after I send USDC?

The USDC is refunded on Ethereum and the order page shows the refund status. A failed route does not leave funds stuck halfway.
