Send Ethereum, receive Zcash at your shielded u1 address, with no account and no identity check. The quote shows the rate and the 2% fee before you send, and an Ethereum deposit takes about 10 minutes to land as ZEC. Nothing stays on Wagyu.
Where your ZEC lands
Shielded address (u1… or zs1…) by default: nothing about the payout is visible on chain. Transparent t1 addresses work if that is what your wallet gives you. tex1 addresses are refused. Zodl, Ywallet, Zingo and the Ledger Zcash Shielded app all give you a u1 address.
How the ETH to ZEC swap works
- Enter the amount and your Zcash address.
- Send ETH to the deposit address. Compliance screening runs before the swap. A deposit that fails screening is refunded: the order moves to a refund state and asks you for a refund address. Nothing is held.
- Receive ZEC at your address.
Fees, minimum and time for this route
- Fee: 2% of the amount because Zcash is the destination, plus a Hyperliquid taker fee of about 0.03%.
- Minimum: about $20 of ETH.
- Time: about 10 minutes end to end.
Times are approximate for the default network, from deposit detection to swap completion. Confirmations, order size and your selected network can change the timing.
