Swap Zcash to Ether

No account, no email, no verification: measure a dose of Zcash, paste the ETH address the distillate goes to, and the lab does the rest.

Leaving Zcash for Ether needs 2–6 confirmations (3–8 min) before the lab can see the deposit, which is the longest part of this batch. The ETH delivery itself is fast.

Your batch number is the only key to the batch page: no account, no email, nothing else that ties the swap to you.

How to swap ZEC for ETH

  1. I

    Measure the ZEC

    Enter how much Zcash you pour and the ETH address the distillate goes to — an address on Ethereum mainnet. The estimate updates before you commit.

  2. II

    Pour into the athanor

    Send exactly that dose from any wallet to the deposit address, on Zcash mainnet. The furnace lights at the first confirmation (2–6 confirmations (3–8 min)).

  3. III

    Collect the ETH

    The lab distills and delivers to your flask on Ethereum mainnet. Usually 5 to 30 minutes end to end, confirmations included.

Questions

ZEC → ETH, answered

More in the codex, or write to the lab.

How long does a ZEC to ETH swap take?

Usually 5 to 30 minutes for the median batch. Most of it is waiting for 2–6 confirmations (3–8 min) on Zcash; the delivery on Ethereum is quick once distillation starts.

What is the minimum amount of ZEC?

About 0.019 ZEC (about $20) at today's prices. Below that, network fees would eat the distillate, so the batch pauses until you top up or ask for a return.

Is the rate fixed?

Yes. The expected ETH output is engraved when you seal the batch and holds until the expiry shown on the deposit page. A deposit that arrives after expiry is handled at the live formula or returned, and you are told which.

Do I need an account or ID to swap ZEC for ETH?

No. There is no account, no email and no identity check. The batch number you receive is the only way to find the batch again, so keep it.

Which network must the ETH address be on?

A Ethereum mainnet address. ETH on another network is a different token with a different address format; the lab delivers only on Ethereum mainnet for this pair.

What if I send ZEC on the wrong network?

The deposit address listens on Zcash mainnet only. Tokens sent on another chain are not seen by the athanor; some can be recovered by a technician for a handling fee, many cannot. When in doubt, send a small test dose first.
